You might have heard about McDonald's workers trying to unionize and threatening to strike. It's been in the news lately. I really like this article about the issue because it gets behind the scenes and calls out some of the ugly truths about the situation. There is no doubt that fast food workers are scraping the bottom of the barrel. That they deserve a living wage should be self evident. But are they just becoming pawns in another game of politics and unionization? They might be getting some press, but it will be a long haul before they get any respect or money.
