Protests for $15-an-hour wages set to expand Wednesday

[Skull Pilot]

Some jobs like stuffing fries into little boxes are not worth 15 an hour nor will they ever be

Sorry but it is for management...

managers do more than stuff burgers in a bag

ALL jobs no matter what they are should be paid enough for the worker to live WITHOUT welfare. A livable wage.Funny how the RICHEST nation on earth can't afford that but we find BILLIONS and TRILLIONS for welfare,warfare and foreign aid.

Sorry but no.

salary for a job is based on the skill needed to perform that job.

walking around with a poop scoop is a ZERO skill job and not worth 15 an hour.

And don't confuse government spending with private industry wages that is an apples to orangutans comparison and completely invalid

Nope. Its not. If your statement was true then CEO's wouldn't be making MILLIONS while all their workers are below the poverty line.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Surely progressive businesses are paying their entry level and unskilled labor their true worth.

Should be no problem for the disaffected to find righteousness and their fair share with their bleeding heart brethren employers.

Time to stop the embarrassing beggary.

It takes a lot more skill to run a company profitably than it does to put fries in a box

And who is stopping any of those people from making more money if they want to?
Sorry these leeches don't want to improve their skills they want to do the easiest most mindless job on the planet and get paid more than the job is worth

Doesn't matter. NO person who works should be making so little money that they need welfare. To many people get their titles based on who they are or who they know. Basic human rights are NOT up for debate.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

They is owed !!!! Lol

Perhaps 20% of the staff should get $15 an hr, 20% $12 an hr, 20% $10 an hr, 20% $8 sn hr, and fire the bottom 20% .......

If you need to make more money then get off your ass and make more.

If these people that are protesting had an ounce of ambition they wouldn't have time to walk around all day fucking up traffic for everyone else. Instead they'd be out improving their skills so they deserve a better job

Unions got higher wages in the auto industry and the auto industry didn't collapse or suffer for it. Higher minimum wage isn't going to put fast food places out of business. So their CEOs make 200 instead of 300 times a line worker, sorry but no sympathy here.

I heard that GM and Chrysler declared bankruptcy a few years ago and I doubt if it was the CEO's pay that caused it.

Ever study math in school? Divide what those CEO's are making by the number of employees they have and explain how they can meet your demands and still avoid bankruptcy.

Wal-Mart has over 2 million associates world-wide, according to their website, so those millions of dollars that you are talking about is actually a pretty paltry sum when you break it down to each employee's "share".....

 

[LogikAndReazon]

You have to pity entitlement minded scumbags......lol

Compared to wages adjusted for inflation, or what they are in Europe, $15/hour is a gift.

Adjusted for inflation of what? Since when?

"The minimum wage should have reached $21.72 an hour in 2012 if it kept up with increases in worker productivity, according to a March study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research. While advancements in technology have increased the amount of goods and services that can be produced in a set amount of time, wages have remained relatively flat, the study points out.

Even if the minimum wage kept up with inflation since it peaked in real value in the late 1960s, low-wage workers should be earning a minimum of $10.52 an hour, according to the study."
Minimum Wage Would Be 21.72 If It Kept Pace With Increases In Productivity Study

Are those on fixed retirement incomes and/or Social Security going to get a raise to cover the increases cost of goods and services as well?

 

[Preacher]

They is owed !!!! Lol

Perhaps 20% of the staff should get $15 an hr, 20% $12 an hr, 20% $10 an hr, 20% $8 sn hr, and fire the bottom 20% .......

Maybe the CEO's should cut their million dollar salaries and pay all their employees a wage they can live off of. Its a win win. Less people on welfare less people that need welfare less money needed for welfare

 

[Obiwan]

And Odium?

When you block traffic going into the store, customers go someplace else. That cuts into your profit-sharing, so when you protest, you are actually giving yourself a pay cut.

Surely progressive companies are paying you your true worth ! Lol

The six Waltons on Forbes' list of wealthiest Americans have a net worth of $144.7 billion.

That's NOT including This fiscal year three Waltons—Rob, Jim, and Alice (and the various entities that they control)—will receive an estimated $3.1 billion in Walmart dividends from their majority stake in the company.

Divide the 144 billion up between the 2 milllion wal mart workers that's 72k per person. Works for me! 6 scum "worth" what 2 million people could EASILY live off of. 6 scumbags who have stolen the labor of 2 million workers and who in my view are worthy of nothing more than a jail cell.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Morons like odorous arent worth $5 an hour.........

 

[Preacher]

And Odium?

Did you even WATCH the news about the protests? Good lord...NO ONE was blocking traffic to Wal Mart..

So what you are saying is that this is yet another half baked idiot liberal idea they haven't thought through?

Get jealous son....when you come up with a reply worth giving my time to I will.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Somebody missed their true calling as a civil servant, social worker, or community organizer........
