Jonathan Westin, executive director of New York Communities for Change, the group at the helm of the Fast Food Forward campaign, said workers who missed a shift in order to be at one of the protests would be compensated. The money comes out of a "strike fund" supported by labor unions, foundations and grassroots organizations.
Unions have been setting up similar strike funds for years as a way to make up for missed wages, while they stand up to employers.

Third shift reported in right on time. I think I'm going to grab a seat in a restaraunt for dinner and watch. This is hilarious.

This money comes from union members, and they are spending it as they see fit.

Ha there you are incorrect the right are on the wrong sides of most arguments, on the wrong side of history. No young people or minorities support you, women don't support you, your base are the baby boomers and they won't be around for many more years. You have lost 6 out of the last 7 elections and much of the protests and voter turnout is spurred on by republican actions.
Just like this thread you all think you know whats best, but history has shown us otherwise.

You really think people have no way to improve their own life, do you? You have little faith in others.
Even worse, you push for Govt dependance.
This idea that people can't survive unless on the Govt handout is about as weak-minded as it gets.
If there was little to no Govt Handouts, people would find ways to earn what they need. BUt, you would rather they stay slave to the Govt freebies.
Please go back and read my posts. I said it was wrong in all cases. Govt handouts need to stop in all cases, to everyone.
That is correct.
This living wage crap idea is about as childish as anything that I have heard.
If people want to have more income, they need to earn it. Very simple.
Thanks for what? Promoting Progressive carp talking points?
Yeah basic economics has left your thought process a while ago.
