JBC p. 79 Fight for $15

I agree with the fight for $15 act but not just for fast food workers. I think it should be for all minimum wage workers (but in a selfish sense I just want more money) which would be a disadvantage since the framing of their goals are mainly focused on the fast food industry. As of now it’s $12 an hour and is estimated to be up to $15 possibly by 2023 another few reasons I think this might discourage people from unionization is how easily people can be fired and most fast food workers are younger, with perhaps a lack commitment. They are often given a negative stigma by mass media ie in TV shows and memes nowadays. Also; most of my experiences with the majority of young fast food workers have not been pleasant. So,  people under a union -can go on strike or refuse to work if their needs or requests aren’t met by the union. So in conclusion, I think minimum wage for all should be $15; but I also see the stigma for most of them being lazy and seeing a union could cause a lot of problems.
