Protesters MCD - 0.53%, to close a McDonald's in Denver on Thursday lunch time just now, waving signs and chanted slogans, and require every fast food joint in the employees pay $15 per hour.
They not only rise in public sidewalks, but with their cars, and fill in the domestic private rushed into the store parking lot with bullhorns big sound, scattered, only when the police arrived.
In the workers in the MOBS don't bold, fast food, but the labor unions and community organizer, pretend to be local television camera.
Dakota bo crown, 26, noth glen, Colorado, is I met a man said that he was in a McDonald's is not the decision a little more than the minimum wage. I met another man, he said, he is in the pizza hut about $8 an hour to cook the pie.
"The company billions of dollars a year," said Mr Bo crown. "" they can afford $15, they prefer to enrich themselves than to take care of us. "

They are right, they say it is mathematically possible to pay the workers about twice as much as they are now going. In Australia, for example, a fast food restaurant worker has about $15. Only some of the higher Labour costs, passed on to consumers. The rest is absorbed with more technology than people, and asking for more productivity, less people in their pay higher wages.
In the United States, this is a difficult proposition. I don't often hear readers think should have a minimum wage.

But, I also heard from readers who is going to start the economy, does not produce enough well-paying jobs.

All know the story of the retailers and restaurants. They have warned that the consumer is weak. Even if the chief executive "dollar menu" McDonald's recently warned bitter days.

We remember when fast food youth work. Those days are gone. Economic policy institute, a recent analysis shows that more than 88% of the minimum wage workers is aged more than 20 years old.
This is why the work of the fast food will have to pay more.
