It is ironic that some perceive that standing up for working class rights is evil. I just don't understand the concept that less wages and benefits helps Americans. I see these men & women standing up for peoples rights as Patriots and Hero's. in Denmark the minimum wage is $21 per hour and the Big Mac costs 50 cents more. We should be ashamed as a nation that working men and women have to live in poverty in the largest economy in the world.

Agreed.
Odd to me that people standing in solidarity with their working brethren is now considered negatively.
I wouldn't be surprised if some number of those protesting were standing in for friends and relatives who had to work because they had to work.
But why are the protesting @ McDonalds Corp HQ. 80% of the Stores are not company owned stores. Are they trying just to get rise at the Company own'ed stores? They should be out in front of each franchise owner home for the other 80%.
Saw a Automatized Hamburger system on the news. Reduces the FastFood place to 2-3 people per store/Shift.
One to assist the customer at the kiosk, One to feed "Food" into the machine, Drive Thru is done thru a App, you just drive up the to window, they hand the bag out, (Pre-Paid).
one to fix it as needed (Roving between many stores). They said each store would have two system.

And in New Zealand, employees make the equivalent of $12.35 and the Big Mac is a nickel cheaper.
Dude, check your source! Erickson is a notorious union-basher. Do you any critical thinking skills at all, or do you just look for stuff that confirms what you want to believe?
Would not surprise me that they are not mcdonalds workers, but rent a mobs, if it is a liberal protest it is never as it seems, 2 show up and the media reports it as a hundreds, thousands show up at a conservative event and it is a small crowd. As for Erickson at least he can use English correctly, You used He's, a contraction for he is, must be a product of public education. Oh, and if you would do any research, you would find out the reason Palin resigned she was being sued into personal bankruptcy with frivolous lawsuits.

This is how the conservative squash protests. They know all that needs to be done is to circulate anti-liberal bunk and the conservative sheep will bite, regardless of truth. It baffles me to no end why this country has become anti pro labor.
I used to work for a company that serviced the point-of-sale equipment for Wal-Mart. You don't think they complain? Get an employee someplace where they don't think anyone will hear them.

You and me both.
I've worked union and I've worked non-union. I'll take union any day of the week.
Unions set the bar for wages, benefits, and safety/working conditions for all of us. When the unions are gone, we'll be working for peanuts.

Not only complain, but file lawsuits.
More than one person has told me that they were told to arrive early or stay after their shift, work through breaks, and/or attend training they weren’t paid for. Several told me on separate occasions that their supervisors were only allotted so many work hours so they asked them if they could they stay after their shift and clean the break room.
Many complain about fluctuating hours scheduled to work, discrimination against women...
I'm sure the support was appreciated by the employees. Knowing someone has your back always helps those who struggle the hardest in an uphill fight.
