I am not sure I really agree with these people you can only pay a person so much such a basic job really.Yes some jobs pay low but nothing is stopping you from getting a better job.I think there should be a limit to what someone gets as a minimum wage.The whole point is you either say "I like this job so I will put forth effort and by doing so I will be offered a better paying position" or "This job sucks I should try to find a better job (or use this as inspiration to well in school so that I will be able to get myself a better job)."

One of my cousins is in college and she got hired at a Zaxbys restaurant in September she was such a good employee that she got offered an assistant manager position after only a month working.

Honestly I dont really have much pity for those working at at fast food joint that want more pay because most of the time I look around in such a place and only 2 or 3 employees are really putting in a good effort at working.I worked at a restaurant in high school and this was the case for most of the employees.I thought the the job was lousy and the pay but it inspired me to bust my ass at work and to try my hardest. When I got out of school I joined the Air Force and I advanced pretty quickly because I spent the time to know my job and I started studying for the two advancement tests for Staff Sargent as a result I earned the grade in only 4 years some people dont even get promoted once in 4 years if they enlisted at E-3 which many people do now a days.If you really try at something you will succeed.My advice to any fast food worker if they like that work is to go to culinary school and work from there.


What if they did form a union? Then they would complain about the union dues which can be $50 or $60 a month my sister is in a teachers union and she pays $100.00 for her it is worth it but for a really low wage job it is not and it would only encourage unambitious people to stay in a unionized burger joint at the low wage job.The reason for this is that some people will settle for a certain level and just stay at that point even if they could do better.

I can agree with a coal miner having a union and I agree with trade unions generally speaking they can do good things for people and also allow an employer that needs skilled tradesmen and women that they will get people of a given standard and this type of union promotes a pride in being part of a group a professional.Like anything else human beings do things can go too far though but that street goes both ways.

@moookiemookie a study from Berkeley a super liberal school I would not trust anything coming from that school to have a neutral point of view I find that as trust worthy as a report from Fox News being read by Glenn Beck.
