It has been rolling across the country for a while, and today the fast food worker’s strike has landed in Seattle.
Taco Bell was closed, along with a number of other fast food restaurants around the city as workers walked of the job in a rolling strike that is continuing today.
The strike, organized by Good Jobs Seattle, is demanding higher wages for fast food workers. The Lake City Burger King and a Subway on Capitol Hill also closed temporarily for lack of employees, and picketers have targeted Qdoba, Chipotle and Taco Del Mar as well
“They’re done with having poverty wages,” said Reagan Jackson of UFCW 21, who joined the picket lines outside the Georgetown Arby’s earlier today. “They’re requesting that they have a new living wage of $15 [an hour]”
Good for them. As someone who eats at several of those places, I’ll just say that I’d gladly pay a bit more for the food if the workers were paid a living wage. And I would eat even better knowing that it came out of CEO’s pay.
that’s because you’re a retard

I quit eating fast food over a year ago, so it’s no skin off my back if the workers get paid more. It’s been a long time since it was considered a “teenage job”, workers now have to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet – all without benefits.
$15 an hour to flip burgers?
These people have zero marketable skills, they dont even deserve the $9 an hour they make now.
Heh. Did he upgrade? No fold-out k/b it seems..

@4. Right. It’s not like they are humans with families. We shouldn’t pay them at all. Just keep them locked up in a small room in the basement when they are not working.
$15 bucks? Fuck that.
@7. Gotta make sure someone is worse off than you?
