Why can you buy a car which is a heavily unionized industry but you think you can't buy a Big Mac if those workers unionize?
Especially so- called US brands.
Foreign automakers are more likely to operate in Right to Work states. Profits are likely used to help pay for accrued benefits to unionized workers in their home countries.
McDonald's is unionized in other countries such as Denmark and New Zealand.
They get $20 per hour in Denmark.
This story is a few years old but:
"McLoon said that she was surprised to learn that American wages are so low, especially because the cost of a Big Mac is actually five cents cheaper in New Zealand, despite their higher pay for workers."

Currency matters. Average NZ wage for a McDonald’s employee is around $10.00 USD. In my neck of the woods, starting wage is $11/ hr and $12/ hr for overnight shifts, well above the state Minimum Wage of $8.25.
Cook County raised its Minimum Wage to $12/ hr and gave 128 municipalities the opportunity to opt out. Most did.
Denmark imposes the highest tax income rates in the world AND a 25% VAT, which applies to restaurants, too.
Why is it people want to make as much money as they can?
But they want the people who provide them services to make as little as possible.
I don’t eat at McDonalds, what service are they providing? Junk food?
