Good News in the fight for 15.

[ClosedCaption]

All part of the democrat plan. Raise wages artificially to throw people out of work and onto welfare where they'll vote democrat forever.

Thats evil accept one thing: Wages havent been raised.

 

[NightFox]

Wendy's is going to fire a whole bunch of people HAR HAR HAR

Yeah you gub'mint worshipers should be proud of yourselves, all your idiotic labor price controls and pom-pom waiving for making them even more egregious than they already are is working as you intended, moving vast swaths of the working poor from the ranks of the employed to the ranks of the government dependent , WAY TO GO !!!!!!!

 

[Siete]

no worries, The Donald will raise min wage. Stay tuned.

 

[NightFox]

Wendys needs to grow to satisfy their sharehoders ... damn capitalist Liberals.

Most of Wendy's restaurants are NOT owned by Wendy's Corp (only 943 of 6,500 are) most are owned and operated by small business franchisees that don't answer to shareholders and that run on very small margins (Industry average 2.4%).

Oh, really? Average crew hourly pay is between $9.79 and $11.55 per hour- not $7.50, as you stated.

Report: Wendy’s to Roll Out Self-Serve Kiosks by End of 2016

may 13 2016 Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain says it will begin offering self-serve kiosks at its 6,000-plus locations across America, making them available to costumers by the end of 2016.

The fast food giant’s decision to move toward automation comes just as “Fight for $15”–a progressive protest movement, pushing minimum wage hikes–is applying pressure on state governments to raise wages for low-skilled fast food workers.

Last August, Wendy’s CFO Todd Penegor told investors that mandated wage hikes will cause his company to pursue other innovative avenues that could lead to fewer jobs for low-skill workers.

They're doing this with the minimum wage at 7.25, not 15.

True, which means their average pay is well within what most people think should be the minimum wage only, making your claims that raising the minimum wage would cause loss of jobs ludicrous on the face of them.

So you think that automation has no connection with labor costs?

Raise the Minimum Wage – Lose Millions of Jobs



Seems Wendy's (along with a lot of others) is seeking ways to keep prices in line so they won't lose customers. Let machines do what humans have done for decades. And maybe there will be more uniformity it what we buy from them. I've seen other references across the web on this. It is also affecting lots of other businesses in areas where the progressives and socialist are trying to destroy free enterprise.

Sure it does. Companies are always looking for a way to cut costs.


I just think it's absolutely stupid to suggest that technological advances in the fast food industry are a a reason not to bring the minimum wage back in line with inflation. No scratch that, I KNOW it's a stupid excuse made by idiots who champion ideology over common sense.

They automated crop harvesting in many ways when the alternative was to hire human pickers who were working for extremely low wages.

Because of the liberal demand that jobs never designed to provide a salary to support a family pay a salary to do just that.

The minimum wage argument is just a liberal smoke-screen anyway to distract from the fact that their policues have led to the slowest recovery since the Great Depression, the 1st President never to have 3% growth, black unemployment being almost double that of whites, kids graduating with massive debt but without the ability to get jobs, and Obamacare causing Anericans to lose their jobs, businesses reducing the number of full-time jobs - converting them to part-time jobs to avoid Obama's ACA mandates...

Then the first question to ask the Wendy's CEO is, if you can keep the crew person wage at an average of 10 bucks an hour,

only adjusted for inflation,

will you refrain from replacing employees with self serve?

Guess what the answer will be.

Oh, a 10 dollar an hour job will support a family...

...because your TAXES will give that family food stamps, healthcare, housing assistance, energy assistance, less than zero income tax, and probably quite a few other benefits I'm not thinking of.

That's what you want?

 

[Rozman]

Most of these places are owned by someone who bought the franchise.
They is very slight profit margin....
Their biggest expense is labor costs....

This is what happens ....

 

[easyt65]

Why do liberals want to increase the minimum wage for Americans when they support illegals coming into the country and taking jobs for less money, when they demand the govt increase the number of visas that allow them to bring in illegals to replace American workers for less?

Do liberals even realize how f*ed up that is, how it makes no sense

No, it won't support them, but instead of offering Americans better, more full-time time jobs libs want to offer them higher-paying part-time jobs, welfare, food stamps, Obamaphones...

1. The "minimum" wage was NEVER designed to be a living wage. It was designed to get the youth into the workplace.

2. A $15 minimum is being sought for the illegals - many of whom work fast food and (a) barely speak the language and (b) have no intention of working anywhere BUT fast food.

3. What's next? Wil these franchise owners (most of who own 1-2 stores) be required to provide day care, retirement and vacation pay for these low skilled, low information workers?

That's why these corporations (McDonalds, Wendy's, Jack in the box, etc) are working on fully automated restaurants.

Remember this - these franchise owners (many of whom are merely small businessmen) have a profit margin of 1-2%. Of course, to the left, doesn't matter. They see a "rich man" and have decided to take him to the cleaners.

Interestingly that is exactly 180 degrees wrong. One of the reasons for the minimum wage was to get child labor out of the workforce.
