McDonald's to Raise Wages

[Toro]

This, along with Wal-Mart's announcement that they will also raise pay, is a sign the economy is getting better.

McDonald’s Corp. plans to raise pay by more than 10% and add benefits like paid vacation for workers at U.S. restaurants it operates, an effort to rejuvenate the struggling fast-food giant that offers fresh evidence of rising wage pressure in the American labor market.

Starting July 1, McDonald’s will pay at least $1 per hour more than the local legal minimum wage for employees at the roughly 1,500 restaurants it owns in the U.S. The increase, which McDonald’s said will apply to some 90,000 workers at all levels of experience and rank, will lift the average hourly rate for its U.S. restaurant employees to $9.90 on July 1 and more than $10 by the end of 2016, from $9.01 currently. McDonald’s also will enable workers after a year of employment to accrue up to five days of paid time-off annually.​

That means they are planning a massive roll out of automation and significant reductions in the workforce.

Not the whey the assembly trays are set up...

 

[Iceweasel]

To counter the expense they are lowering the quality of the food.

April fools, they can't!

I have no idea what curds, whey, or cottage cheese have to do with this.

But McDondalds has been edging toward greater automation, such as auto-fryers, clam-shell grills, and self-serve ordering kiosks for years. This announcement will coincide with the roll out.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

How about raising the quality of their poison...eh... I mean, food.

Damn, there goes the economy if they raise the wages at the bottom, right, lol


Wall Street's bonus pool was roughly double the combined earnings of all Americans working full-time jobs at minimum wage.

What I'm telling you Dumb2three, is don't count on that raise - they will probably let you go before they implement the wage increase. Automated order kiosks don't pick their nose in front of customers - and that's just one of many reasons they are a better choice than you.

Our Founders and conservatives stood for freedom while liberals spied for Stalin and Hitler's huge liberal governments. How is that for right side of history dumbto3??
