I North Dakota, the starting salary at McDonald's is $15 a hour and many times much more. They need to do that to attract workers. The oil boom is creating a lack of workers and North Dakota has a very very tiny illegal immigrate problem. Hence, when their is a lack of workers than the workers get power. When their is a surplus of workers the employers get power.
YES, many legals fill the roles in the fast food industry. However, a good chunk of the workers are illegals. Second effect is illegal are in many industries that Americans would want, such as a quarter of illegals are in high paid construction. Remove the illegals from the market and employers from the agriculture, to fast food servicing to construction would have to find way to attract employees without this never-ending near slave labor called the illegal immigrant. Hence, they would have to attract AMERICANS with higher salaries, benefits, more hours and a more attractive package.
Yet fast food workers and the highly anti-american SEIU supports will all their vigor the illegal immigrant and undermines America in their attempt to stop it. To that effect, it's hard to have sympathy!
Start with eVerify and HUGE stinging penalties for company and the ACTUAL HIRING MANAGER themselves who hire illegals. NAIL THE CORPORATE FARMS THE HARDEST!!! Hear the employers cry they lack workers and then you lefties can finally laugh at them and reply, "No you lack workers at slave labor, poor work environment and no benefits! You will get workers once you raise the pay, provide a better work environment and maybe benefits!"
The only way to raise the pay for unskilled workers is create a worker demand for them!
