Greetings from MobileGenerated News™ MoGN!
One of today’s Top Stories is about a Nationwide attempt to
raise the minimum wage for fast food workers.
They make between $7.50 and $10.00 an hour. The workers say it is not enough money to
live on. They are protesting today
trying to convince their employers to double their salaries to $15.00 an
hour. The companies say that giving
their workers such a significant raise will raise prices as much as a $1.50 on
such marquee items as a Big Mac. The
workers are threatening to unionize.
It’s certainly hard to argue that a job that pays so little may not be
enough to survive on your own. If the
employers respond in an unsympathetic manner, they could create a public
relations nightmare for their companies and franchisees.
What do you think? I
look forward to your comments and questions.
