\"McDonald's<\/a>
\n 
\nThey only make $7.25 an hour.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why hundreds of fast food franchise workers are going on strike in NYC.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hourly employees from franchises<\/b> like McDonald\u2019s, Wendy\u2019s and KFC are seeking to double their hourly pay-all the way up to $15 an hour.<\/p>\n

Are they (mostly franchise business employees<\/i>) asking too much?<\/p>\n

Could you<\/i> live on $7.25 an hour?<\/p>\n

And, what would Ray Kroc of McDonald’s<\/a> fame do about wages?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get Your Calculator Out<\/h2>\n

I did.<\/p>\n

And, I actually had to do my computation twice<\/i>-because I didn\u2019t believe the first number that was displayed on my Casio\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Workers<\/b> that get paid $7.25 an hour-and who work 40 hour weeks make $15,080 a year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a lot of money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making Burgers<\/h2>\n

Obviously, it doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist<\/a> to cook a burger or ring up a cash register.<\/p>\n

And, hopefully, today\u2019s college graduates\u2026the ones that are graduating with $60,000 in student loan debt, aren\u2019t finding themselves working in one of Ray Kroc\u2019s fast food franchise empires<\/a>. (As opposed to getting a cushy corporate well-paying job<\/i>.)<\/p>\n

Because if they are<\/i> working at their local McDonald\u2019s, they\u2019ll have to move back home-and live with their parents.<\/p>\n

For a long time<\/i>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fast Food Forward<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s the name of the group that organized this one-day walkout. Their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re arguing that the average wage for fast food franchise workers<\/b> in the New York City area is around $9 an hour. If you compute that, it comes out to about $18,500 per year. Income like that is way under the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s threshold for poverty-level income; $23,000 per year for a family of four.
\n 
\n\"Homeless<\/a>
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Fast Food Franchisees Have Their Challenges<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s fast-food franchisees don\u2019t have it all that easy themselves.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re being hit with cost pressures; higher operating costs and Obamacare uncertainty are only two of them. And don\u2019t forget that they\u2019re paying 4-8% of their sales revenue to the franchisor.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s expensive to run a fast food franchise<\/a><\/i>. But, that doesn’t mean that I want you to feel sorry for franchisees or franchisors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, something has to give.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

PS- These striking employees want the right to form a union without intimidation or retaliation<\/b>.
