Featured Fast Food 'Strikes' Just a Front for Massive Union Organizing Campaign

Pay workers a living wage, treat them right and there would be no need of unions or strikes.

 

The minimum wage workers will probably be replaced with computers.

 

The bigger thread of computers and robotics are the middle class workers. Also 3D printing is going to put lots of people in manufacturing out of work. Electronics workers are also very vulnerable to being replaced by technology in the future.

But your reply is rather off topic. As I said earlier if fast food outlets paid a living wage and treated their workers well there would be no need for unions or strikes.

Fast food was automated back in the 30's and 40's. They were called automats, but gradually disappeared as time went by ... could be they will come back.

 

An old time Automat.

 

You mean "threat", right ?

And my reply is on-topic, as workers who strike, especially fast food workers, get replaced by machines.

 

These protests are clearly a front for organized labor.

At this point I really believe the position of the major chains is to ignore them and not engage. They absolutely have the right to do so. If these individuals don't wish to advance in education and life, then perhaps a lower wage lifestyle is for them.

If these workers want to walk off the job then they will be easily replaced. The workers are not in a position to argue with the corporation.

 

That's hilarious. Professional athletes, with salaries in the millions, go on strikes.

 

Air traffic controllers strike.

 

Try working on their side of the counter before making such a statement. Sure the stress is different, but the public they have to serve is often anything except polite and courteous. Knew a young woman years ago, a high school senior, who got a job at a fast food place to earn some money for Christmas. She quit within a week saying she could not stand how nasty most of the customers were.

How tolerant would you be of rude customers?

 

The world population, approaching 7B, falls into three classes: the haves, have littles and have nothings. Mostly because of solidarity, some have nothings have moved to have a little class(aka: middle class). A good surf: read about Henry Ford and his labor adventures with auto workers who unionized.

Union contracts are not made among gentlemen. This is still about exploitation of the masses, greed and love of money. World economics is driven by crude oil and opium derivatives.

Now what? Watch and pray. Our redemption draws near.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I believe if you reread my post you will see I said the stress is different. But stress, does not matter what kind of stress, affects the body and health in the same way.

 

Folks, don't feed the commies. You too, Salty.

 

Just pay them a living wage, and they won't strike. Those are your words, not mine. Seems you're having to eat them.

 

Fast food is an ENTRY level not designed to make a living. The managers are well paid and most that think themselves worth more should move on to other jobs.
