TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! ON THE MENU: LOCAL ACTIVISTS PREPPING EPIC KANSAS CITY MINIMUM WAGE PROTEST PART DEUX!!!
Let's call this a Kansas City lunch time link in order to give our broke-ass bloggy community something to contemplate over our cold cuts and a half-hour work respite from an angry boss.

A TKC EXCLUSIVE NOTE FROM A DENIZEN OF THE STAND UP KC FORCES WARNS OF AN EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER CALL FOR A KANSAS CITY MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE NEXT WEEK!!!
April 14th - One day before tax day . . . Look for Kansas City minimum wage activists to hit local streets and fast food joints hard in order to reignite their cause.
Here's the word:
"TKC, you ain't seen nothing yet. We are getting a ton of support from a diverse cross-section of supporters all across Kansas City for our upcoming protest. It will be a sight to be seen and we plan making our presence felt that day . . ."
Remember City Hall passed an ordinance supporting this cause which was later put down by Jeff City given that municipalities aren't allowed to raise the minimum wage according to Missouri Law. A court case challenging this ruling in Jackson County has stalled yet the fight for $15 is about to heat up again in Kansas City.
Here's a recent statement from activists about their protests coming up one week from today . . .
Stand Up to End McPoverty!
"America has a rigged and broken McPoverty economy! On April 14th – one day before Tax Day - Kansas City will stand up and march for $15 and union rights for all and demand that billionaires, corporations, and CEOs pay their fair share in taxes!
"The McDonald's profit model rigs the economy and stacks the deck against us all. It's not just fast food. Nearly half the country - 64 million workers - makes less than $15.
"The McPoverty economy forces workers to rely on public assistance to survive while corporations refuse to pay their fair share in taxes. Corporations make billions in profits, tax payers subsidize billionaires, and our schools and neigbhorhoods all suffer.
"That's why on the day before tax day, KC will stand up--black, white, and brown -- to demand an end to the McPoverty economy, union rights for all workers, and that corporations pay their fair share!
"Join us on Thursday, April 14 at 5pm for a day of action. We will mobilize at 5pm at 63rd and Paseo and march at 5:30pm."

how about all of the time and money these folks made Kansas City spend drafting their useless legislation?
ReplyDeleteCan we send them a bill for that? Or at least remind them the next time they forget my fries?
Look at McDonald's overall. People are moving away from it and deciding to eat somewhere better.
ReplyDeleteKansas City should support local businesses and not fast food chains.
Did you write their press release TKC?
ReplyDeleteThe use the word "rigged" a lot and I know it's one of your favorites.
Not happening. Will go automated like in N Y. Jobs lost. How you like me now?
ReplyDeleteIn a way I hope they get the 15.00 per hour
ReplyDeleteThat way they will get an immediate, and real lesson in economics
They will realize that all that left wing bullshit they've been taught is a lie. That's why they phase everything in over long amounts of time. It's that how do you boil a frog idea at work
This nigger mayor wants everyone else to give pay raises but the city gov THATS ONE OF THE
ReplyDeleteREASONS WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE MOVIN OUT OF KC. WHAT A DUMP
You guys stop being negative. This thing could be the start of something really bog....like the KC loser parade. Now remember KCPD lock up your horseys and make sure to check for nutsacks when encountering crazy bitches.
ReplyDeleteall is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
This is nothing but a ploy by Slime James to get coons and white trash to pay their parking tickets before the state legislature shuts down the KC ticket scam.
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's recognizes that our current $19 trillion of national debt will be $22 trillion by the time the next President is in the saddle.
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's. The living epitome of evil.
ReplyDeleteNotice how these groups never go after jew-owned businesses. Just sayin'.
Unions put up -- all they want are their union dues. They could care less about the dumb downs.
ReplyDeleteWith all the random violence there are plenty of good paying jobs available in the medical and funeral industries. No experience, brain or pulse necessary. This should appeal to the fastfood dummies.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of issue is exactly why we need change in local government.
ReplyDeleteI think its fair to ask why do we subsidize businesses that pay so little that it forces us to also pay subsidies for their employees.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather order from McKiosk if it means not paying people $7.25 an hour. 15/hr is probably too high of a minimum wage for KC. $10-$12 would be appropriate but certainly not $7.50
Pick your poison, support unskilled folks either through your taxes or when you buy Big Macs. One way or another we are going to subsidize their inability to compete in a capitalistic system that rewards either hard work or education.
ReplyDeleteThese idiots don't even realize that this year tax day is on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteIf the gold diggers of KC could cook half as good as they pour down 12 dollar drinks there would be no McDonalds. Fucking broads are damn near worthless as coons. If they ever put pussy in a box these local bitches are gonna starve.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat greedy union slobs trying to scam their way into more successful businesses.
ReplyDeleteUse the real word, it's "McNIGGERS" and Kansas City is infested with them. They, yes they, are the reason for all the crime and grief in this town. NIGGERS are rapidly destroying what was once the home of Ward and June Cleaver.....(Not to be confused with that NIGGER Cleaver either...)
ReplyDelete$15.00 dollars an hour isn't going to make anyone demanding this money now work any better than they do now. You're still going to get bad service and be even more pissed off about it knowing the idiot clown waiting on you is making 15 fucking dollars an hour and still can't get the order right.
ReplyDeleteSIEU is a Prison Guard Union. They make their money when the economy is bad. Socialist Alternative pushed for the 15.00 an hour in Seattle and SEIU picked up on the idea to make the Republicans look bad not for a better standard of living for food workers.
ReplyDeleteAdam! Good to see your back!
ReplyDeleteScrew McD's I love Taco Bell!!!
ReplyDeleteThey pay their employees better AND the make my poop smell so sweet.
Diabetes was never so good.
Why stop at $15 an hour? Why not $20 or $30? By the way, what constitutes a corporation's "fair share"? Oh, that's right, corporations don't pay taxes. They pass those on to the consumer! This is just another attempt by the labor unions to swell their ranks and their union dues coffers.
ReplyDeleteMany unions wages are tied directly to minimum wage. If minimum wage rises, so does the union wage. Unions dont care if the minimum wage causes higher unemployment, and it will. These protesters are stupid pawns. Im looking forward to my robot burgers. Fuck them one and all.
