Workers at the nationâ€™s best known fast-food restaurants in seven cities across America are planning to walk off the job Monday to protest what they say are wages that are too low to live on. In a move orchestrated with the help of powerful labor unions and clergy groups, the workers plan to strike for a day to demand their wages be doubled.

I have worked at McDonalds, it doesn't take rocket science. Yes, I am sure there are a lot of obnoxious customers. Walmart cashiers don't deserve $15.00 an hour either, for that matter....

Neil Cavuto interviewed two of them today on his show. They said they were "owed". One girl who had children said she couldn't live on what McDonald's paid her. :whatever:

Hire new employees while the fired ones are on strike. Further problems? Close up shop so no one has any job.
