New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says neither he nor his campaign staff will eat at McDonald's until the company provides its workers with $15 per hour wages. That is three hamburgers so far.
The Democratic candidate for president made the pledge at a planned labor strike with Des Moines employees in front of a McDonald's on Thursday.
More than 100 workers, clad in red shirts that read "Unions For All," stood in front of the McDonald's on Merle Hay Road in Des Moines, demanding increased wages and a chance to unionize. They chanted things like: "We work! We sweat! Want $15 on our checks" and "Hold the pickles, hold the fries. Make my wages super-sized."
While de Blasio worked with the governor to provide Amazon Inc a great real estate in the heart of Queens/ border of Manhattan, and credit the richest man in the world 3 Billions Dollars. Amazon clearly said we are not accepting union workers and that was ok with de Blasio.
So which is it Mr. Mayor? Just a thought.
