Can anyone tell me who is forcing these people to work there and work at those wages?

DETROIT (WWJ) – What started as a peaceful protest aimed at raising the minimum wage resulted in dozens of arrests after protesters spilled into the street outside of a McDonald’s restaurant in Detroit, blocking the road to traffic.
The scene unfolded before sunrise Tuesday at the McDonald’s along Grand River Avenue and Schaefer Highway, on the city’s west side.
As more protesters gathered at the scene, police arrived to maintain order. But the crowd continued to grow and protesters started rallying in the street — some even locked arms and sat in the middle of the road.
“We work, we sweat. Put 15 on our check,” the crowd chanted. “If we don’t get it, shut it down.”

Normal protesting is leaving and finding a higher paying job.

No problem with a legal protest. But once they start breaking the law and blocking the street on purpose, I have no problem with them being arrested

I wonder what that $15 per hour will do to their government benefits?

I thought these jobs were for high school kids starting out?
If you need more money, acquire a skill and find another job.

Gotta admit. These folks can come up with some catchy chants. My protest would never be that good.

I say frick it, pay them fifteen an hour. Once technology is cheaper than people, there's economic incentive to produce burger-bots. And once some company gets rich making burger-bots, they'll branch out and make butler-bots and sex robots.
Don't you idiots see that giving them what they want will result in us getting hobots sooner?

Fire them all, close down the store, open a new one in Flint. Now they're all flat broke and nobody gets to eat.

I'm working on new slogans:
"$15 to make a Mac or we ain't going back."
"$15 to work at Mac or we go back to selling crack."
"We can't make weed buys, making eight bucks to sack fries."
"Though we dropped out of school, give us 15, fool."
"15 an hour to make mcchicken; or your burger going to get a slobbery lickin'."

I fricking hate the media. This is their deceptive, sensational headline:
While technically correct, they are trying to induce an emotional response.
