Fast Food Workers - We want $15 and hour!

[The True Adonis]

Great way to prove your point.  What his salary, stock and benefits look like all other years?  What's sheer profit been for McDonald Corp include Chipotle and anything else they run? You took one year of who knows how many hes been in that position to prove your point. 

The CEO of Mcdonalds worked his way up from the bottom, the lowest position you can have there all the way to CEO.  You wouldn`t know anything about that though.

yes and if workers see there wages go below 15 an hour they move to another fast food chain that is doing well.  also when a corp has pos net profits 99 percent of the time they should be regulated to put away a certain amt of money for when things do go in the red they still can pay there workers 15 an hour until they are rolling in profit again.  

not paying an employee for services rendered is illegal.

also where do you think the hundreds of millions of profit go at the end of the year?  it should be spread out 50% of it to the employees because without them 0 profit devil corporations.

and without the corporation these ingrates wouldnt have jobs....

if its that easy to just move to another job, why dont these "exploited" workers do it now?

the profit gets rolled back into the business for CapEx, to help expand and to help whether downturns

you act like without these workers the corporation would just stop existing, you realize there are tons of people willing to take their jobs right?

people dont want to hear that, they want to be told that they are being held back by evil faceless corporations

that if the 1% was more generous that would solve their problems

According to you only Shaniqua and Trayvon work at McDonalds. Guess not.

the subject of this thread is how much money someone should get paid, you just said it wasnt the paper the govt is printing.

would you make up your mind or just admit you cant define it and youre talking out of your ass like usual...

The point of this thread is the allotment of value, Tony. Try to wrap your mind around that fact.

[Irongrip400]

First off, McDonald's isn't going anywhere. Second, I'm not sure if its still like this, but it used to be that you only owned the building, and McDonald's owned the land. It was a fail safe in case they ever went tits up, they could sell the land and recoup and restart/pay back franchisees. Second, who gives a fuck what the CEO makes? He fucking deserves it. Do you know the stress level associated with running a multi billion dollar company? This dude probably doesn't sleep more than four hours a day, and is always thinking. He deserves every penny. The only fast food employees who I could say deserve $10-$15 and hour are Chic fil A people, they are awesome.

What's your point? You're using 1 guy like its the rule and not the exception.  You've proved nothing.

Wiggs, McDonald's was an investor in Chipotle, but fully divested of them as of 2006.

value in the form of money you numb nut, now define wealth or just admit you are talking out of your ass

Of course not.  Tons of famous and successful people have worked at The Golden Arches. Politicians, Andy Card-Chief of Staff under Bush,  CEO`s (Founder of Amazon), Celebrities, Jay Leno, James Franco, Sharon Stone and on and on. You can name countless famous people actually.

But the Golden Arches is not good enough for our very own Wiggs though.

Any fast food place. Because I care what my employer sells and if I don't agree with it, I'm not going to be employed by them. It's called PRINCIPLES Adam.

The government should decree how much money you can make.
The government should decree how much money you can spend
The government should decree where you spend your money
The government should decree how you can save your money
The government should decree the allowances of things you can own
The government should redistribute things you own for the betterment of others
The government should decree what you can eat
The government should decree how what you can watch on TV
The government should decree what type of work you should do
The government should decree the medical care you receive
The government should decree where you can live
The government should decree where you can travel
The government should decree who you can marry
The government should decree who you can associate with

Only through complete control can there be complete freedom.

Tony, you were on the verge of making an incredibly stupid statement, several posts ago. You've now spent a dozen or so replies, trying to cover your ass.

You don't think anyone is fooled, do you?

A Big Mac is not worth 7 dollars.  Only a moron like you would pay that kind of price and think nothing of it. Hell, you`d probably charge it on a credit card.

These are multi-national corporations. They have loyalty to no nation or people. Their only purpose is to maximize profits. They could care less about America, or whether America is better off with a middle-class or not.

Thats simply not true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_McDonald_House_Charities

[The True Adonis]

There are currently 322 Ronald McDonald's Houses in 52 countries and regions. Ronald McDonald Houses act as a place to stay for families with hospitalized children who are receiving treatment. Ronald McDonald's Houses provide over 7,200 bedrooms to families around the world each night, with an estimated value of $257 million in lieu of hotel costs.

There are currently 161 Ronald McDonald's Family Rooms [2] in 19 countries and regions. These Rooms accommodate over 3,000 families each day who live in the local community and don't need to stay at a Ronald McDonald House. They provide a place for family members to rest, wash clothes, take a shower, or nap near the vicinity of their child.

There are currently 43 Ronald McDonald's Care Mobiles [3] in 6 countries. Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles are mobile clinics that offer affordable health care for children in their own neighborhoods. The program serves more than 100,000 children a year, and saves families in the U.S. $10 million in medical and dental costs each year.

The Ronald McDonald's Learning Program (Australia only) was formed in 1997 to help children who had suffered serious illness and returned to school. The stated mission of the program is to provide educational support to these children who have fallen behind in their education. The Ronald McDonald Learning Program is the only program of its kind in Australia.[citation needed]

The Ronald McDonald's Learning Program supplies students with:

    A Cognitive and Educational assessment by an Educational Psychologist
    40 hours of individual tutoring by a qualified teacher
    10 sessions of Speech or Occupational Therapy, if required

International

In 1981, the first Ronald McDonald's House outside the United States opened, in Toronto, Ontario.[citation needed] In 1991, the 150th Ronald McDonald's House opened, in Paris, France. On July 25, 2005, the 250th opened, in Caracas, Venezuela. The first in-hospital Ronald McDonald House in APMEA (Asia Pacific Middle East and Africa) opened at Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, Bangkok, Thailand, on June 7, 2011. Currently there are 324 Ronald McDonald's Houses in 57 countries.
Donation Boxes

RMHC Donation Boxes are located in most McDonald's restaurants.
Pop Tab Program

Through the RMHC Pop Tab Collection Program, to date more than $4 million has been generated. The Pop Tab Collection Program has been established to allow individuals and businesses to collect soda pop tabs from aluminum cans and donate them to their local RMHC Chapter or Ronald McDonald's House. Though it differs from program to program, for the most part, RMHC Chapters use the money received from recycling the tabs to help offset operational expenses or to sponsor or support programs. Not all Houses participate in the Pop Tab Program.
Awards

Worth magazine named Ronald McDonald's House Charity one of "America’s 100 Best Charities" in 2001 and 2002.[3][4]

June 5, 2008 USGBC Awards LEED Platinum Rating to Ronald McDonald's House Charities of Austin and Central Texas, first LEED Platinum Ronald McDonald's House in the world.[citation needed]

The U.S. Green Building Council certified the Ronald McDonald's House Charities of Austin and Central Texas (RMHC-ACT) with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification, the highest level of sustainable building in the nation.[citation needed] Not only is the green design good for the environment, the eco-friendly features create a healthier environment for the children and families[citation needed] staying at the Ronald McDonald's House while children are treated at area medical centers.[5][6][7]
