Fight for $15

what do you think about the fast food campaign demands for a $15 hour minimum wage and the right to unionize? what factors might encourage (or discourage) the unionization of fast food workers?

I do somewhat believe in a $15 an hour minimum wage especially in major cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles where the price of living there is so high. Its impossible to live in those cities if your making the federal minimum wage which is $7.25. Some places are more expensive to live than others in this country and fast food workers should unionize. I believe it is a right to unionize and every worker should be apart of a union. I think what has discouraged fast food workers from forming a union is that they are seen as easily replaceable. Another reason is that many fast food workers dont see their job as a permanent career. There are many people who are against 15 an hour minimum wage who are also everyday Americans like us as they see if the minimum wage goes up the prices at fast food will go up as well. The fight for 15 movement has made progress. Ive noticed my paychecks getting bigger since the year started. In the state of California the minimum wage will be $15 an hour by the year 2023.
