I remember the McDonald’s I worked at gave everyone raises right before minimum wage went up to 7.25 to make it seem like it was their choice.
I was struggling to make ends meet back then. I had a shitty car and tiny apartment with a roommate and just scraped by. No fucking clue how people are making it work today. I have a decent job now and I’m still just scraping by.

We need unions.
they aren’t. tens of thousands of homeless people in just cali alone.
You really really do. I don’t mean to target you personally here. This is meant for everyone reading:
If you have time to hang out on Lemmy, then you have a couple mins looking up what unions the industry you’re in has or is trying to setup.
Just learn, I’m not even asking that anyone do anything… but if you know more about the situation where you live, maybe you can help people.
No corpo is gonna do it for you. It’s workers for workers.
