It’s insane.
They’re organizing to demand more pay than their work is worth, when they should be organizing against economic policies that force them into menial jobs to survive.
However, the labor unions overwhelmingly support those same failed policies so they need to blame private companies for not acting against their own interests.

Whatever it takes … unless it takes finding a job that pays more than minimum wage.
@greenhousenyt @LOLGOP Maybe not every company can afford to pay $15 per hour, but McDonalds sure as hell can

The price of something isn’t dependent on what someone can afford. It’s dependent on how much of it there is and how many people want it. It’s called economics.
