Sign of the Time

 Spotted this sign at my local Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers:

$15 PER HOUR

Just three words harboring a change in our economy. It’s no longer just Bernie and Liz. It’s the proprietors of fast food and other businesses hiring slave wage service workers forever. It took 4 million of their employees going on work strike to get a few more bucks per hour from the exploiters of those formerly at their mercy.

That $31,200 per year based on $15 bucks an hour won’t allow these hard working, valuable employees to live large in the burbs. But it will provide a few more of life’s necessities and grant them a tad more dignity and respect for their underappreciated efforts.

It’s just a start. But hopefully it will continue to expand their wages and percolate up to that of underpaid workers at levels above them.
