Doubling McDonald's Salaries Would Cause Your Big Mac To Cost Just 68¢ More

"…if McDonald's executives wanted to double the salaries of all of its employees and keep profits and other expenses the same, it would need to increase prices by just 17 cents per dollar…"

" …fast-food workers across the country [are striking] for a $15 per hour minimum wage. Workers are also protesting for the right to unionize without fear of retaliation. Protesters are holding strikes in seven cities over a four-day period…"

(Reference)

I would gladly pay 68¢ more for a Big Mac if it assured workers were earning a fair wage and getting improved work conditions. A single mom working a second job at McDonald's deserves that, IMO.

  2. I get the chicken nuggets once in a while. I like them with the sweet chile sauce. Good to hear from you.
