"If the fast food workers achieve tangible results, it could transform low-wage fast food and retail in the same way that the United Auto Workers (UAW) and other unions helped to transform manufacturing during the 1930s. Their efforts, combined with the stimulative impact of World War II, helped birth a new American middle class and an organized labor Golden Age."
So can they? In light of what happened to Detroit, do we even want a revival of labor unions?
Can the fast food strikes revive American labor unions?
It could happen. The reason so is simple. Liberal socialist like obama know their policies will end up creating cities like detroit. They know eventually the people will turn on them and they'll be out on their duffs. Oloser himself is going to need golf money and the rest of they party faithfull will need their cut! Where better to get it then the poor people they benefited with higher wages and "union dues." A nifty hand out to the party faithful from those they helped the most. Its called trickle up theor in retort to Reagan's trickle down theory only the trickle is from the poor into the rich elite leftists pockets.
If the new golden age is to be based upon fast food jobs I'd be incredibly surprised.

Next thing you know they will be clamoring for an associates degree in fast food. And of course...government provided student loans.
The sad thing is...there are people that would take these ridiculous notions seriously.Why stop there, why not a Masters in Theoretical Burger flipping.

This must be a living breathing example of brainwashing in action. Do you have any original thoughts, or can you only parrot slogans heard on Fox and Rush?
they did it in the wrong order with the wrong goal. step one should have been unionizing. step two should have been negotiating for more control over schedules and better opportunities for upward mobility, not $15 an hour base pay.
what really sucks about those jobs is that they are dead end with high turnover and little control over hours. this is also a problem in retail. if i were running the union, that's what i'd negotiate for. the base pay is always going to be low; what's important is the ability to move up, as well as frequency of raises.
Dood...you are talking about FAST FOOD JOBS.they did it in the wrong order with the wrong goal. step one should have been unionizing. step two should have been negotiating for more control over schedules and better opportunities for upward mobility, not $15 an hour base pay.

Or the cost of all goods would increase, and heres the truly diabolical part...in 7 years, there ass has managed to work themselves up to salad prep. Woo hoo!True, If these people got living wages and unionize, do they know that most likely there union dues would must likely negate there living wages.
Or they can just realizes that unskilled labor is always going to low paying jobs, since that is what they are design to be in the first place.
