Have you seen the price of Nike shoes? That's not too far off. And considering the company's documented problem using slave child labor, I'd say you might want to choose another industry to make your point that markets should dictate wages.
Of course no one has a gun to the heads of the plutocratic crowd making them pay terrible wages with no benefits. And Labor, where else are they going to go? Used to be that government protected the rights of the worker. But that's pretty much dead. Just like the US's manufacturing base. You see organized collective bargaining is much much more effective than every man for himself.
The 'go it alone' strategy in contract negotiations works like shit b/c the monied elites hold all the bargaining chips. With labor, there is only strength in numbers.
Standing alone, labor is dead in the water. And people like you happily refer to these people with lives performing necessary work as a commodity.
And not to put to fine a point on it but Labor is oranized at a 6 or 7 percent clip in private industry. Apparently that's far too much for the proponents of the monied elite.
The monied elites?
Whatever... at the end of the day, if there was a shortage of fast-food workers and a high demand, the price would go up. Unfortunately, there' an endless supply of people only qualified to press pictures on a cash register.. hence the low wage.
Go get an engineering degree.. I hear that pays real well.
Scab labor needs to be interviewed, have background checks and be trained. All of which takes time and money. Then, the scab labor will make the same demands as those employed in FF today.
Take a class in creative thinking. I hear it prevents being looked upon as an ignoramus.
