Like clockwork
what is?
unions negotiated unsustainable demands in exchange for votes..this isnt a secret. these folks retire, move to florida and have a pension and cadillac healthcare for life on NY's tab. Im not demeaning it, it just is what it is.

People do know that McDonalds are forced to pay livable wages outside U.S. right? The majority of countries in Europe that have McDonalds restaurants force the company to pay wages that equal the cost of living and nothing less and the franchise continues to build several restaurants in these places. 
people in here arguing that this will ruin the company

the problem is you're not looking at the franchise structure they run. you look at McDonald's balance sheet and go, "they made billions of dollars" its not like that for your local franchise mcdonalds though.
I bet some of these franchisees would shut down if they had to double wages.

The problem is that YOU ARE not looking at the government structure allowing these companies to minimize their operational cost by paying the lowest amount possible to their employees. Laws are set up to protect citizens from being targeted by these multi-billionaire businesses ever doing this to them. The franchise structure in America is the same way as the structure in Europe, the only thing in their way is what they are allowed to do. If the national minimum wage is raised than states are forced to raise their wages in similar fashion hence, McDonalds have to pay liveable wages. It is as easy as it sounds.
"They made billions of dollars", yes and how? By setting up a franchise business model that allow restaurants to be run by local, regional, and national managers since it is more efficient. Has nothing to do with their responsibility or the government's obligation to allow THEIR citizens to have a livable wage.
?
Also, I'm not arguing that McDonalds workers should be paid $15 since their line of work doesn't deserve a pay that is equal or a little more than many base salaries for teachers, police, firemen etc. What they do deserve is to be able to pay rent and buy clothes with the money they get from working 40hrs/week which is close to $9.50 give and take in different states.

alright whatever, tell your congressman to raise the minimum wage, it's not like i'm against it.
like i said each franchisor is responsible for their payroll not McDonalds Corp.
I don't think these 15 year old cashiers are worth more than minimum wage. Why do we have 40 year olds trying to support a family on it? These jobs weren't designed to be a career. everyone is qualified to be a mcdonalds employee.

yeah but it's a business not a charity. is a living wage something a 15 year old can do? they're not going to sit there and pay a single mother of 3 more than a 15 year old out of charity. these wages are set by the market.
is mcdonalds supposed to sit there and figure out what each of their 500k employees needs to live off of? they're not going to pay surpluses for no reason.

How much does an 18 year old crew member get paid?
The pay rate for an 18 year old Crew Memeber ranges from £5.00 to £6.05 per hour in our company owned restaurants.
and £5.00 = like $7.59
