McDonald's pushes back: "business model can't sustain $20/hr"
The California fast-food bill will raise the minimum wage for many California workers at fast-food chains to $20 an hour starting April 1.

This is 100% bullshit and they 100% know it. They pay employees in Denmark over 20$/hr and the food is actually cheaper there than it is here. If it was unsustainable, then they wouldn't be doing business in Denmark. The difference between there and here, Denmark is essentially 100% regulated by industry-wide labor unions. Starbucks employees shouldn't be trying to unionize, the entire fast-food industry should be unionizing together.

Interesting, I don’t think I’d heard of an industry union like that. It’s a great idea
Yes you have, the Screen Actors Guild is an industry-wide actor's union. The Writers Guild of America is an industry-wide guild for writers. The Teamsters as well. Actually most "Blue Collar" unions are industry unions. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc. all have industry-wide unions. It is a recent phenomenon relegated to service and sales industries that are forcing unions to be only at single stores instead of industry or even company wide.
Goes to show how effective the anti-union rhetoric has been. Fucking shame. Unions built modern America.
nah, slaves and otherwise oppressed people did.
Both are true, tho one came first.
Tho they might not experience other oppressions, all working people are still exploited and dependent upon players to exist. And most oppressed people are working people. The working class does not mean just white people, the working class is diverse.
Like the other guy said, both are true, but also it should be mentioned that you can certainly be in a union and be oppressed.
