They should all be fired for two reasons;
1) They are not worth $15.00/hour. 2) Their absolute ignorance about how the economic system they seek to participate in actually works.
Thank you Modern Day Liberals for doing your usual part to maintain ignorance & promise things that are not legitimate in the first place as you again, try to empower yourselves via deceit.
Modern Day Liberalism.

they want $15/hr I'm trying to think of a reason i need to go down there so I can show them 15 mph It was inevitable this kind of machine would find its way into the food service segment. A machine that is more hygienic, faster, more versatile and efficient. Imagine that. Here's The Burger-Flipping Robot That Could Put Fast-Food Workers Out Of A Job Dylan Love Aug. 11, 2014, 10:05 AM A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs. The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds. The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem." Momentum Machines cofounder Alexandros Vardakostas told Xconomy his "device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient. It’s meant to completely obviate them." Indeed, marketing copy on the company's site reads that their automaton "does everything employees can do, except better." This directly raises a question that a lot of smart people have contemplated: Will robots steal our jobs? Opinion is divided of course. Here's what Momentum Machines has to say on the topic: The issue of machines and job displacement has been around for centuries and economists generally accept that technology like ours actually causes an increase in employment. The three factors that contribute to this are 1. the company that makes the robots must hire new employees, 2. the restaurant that uses our robots can expand their frontiers of production which requires hiring more people, and 3. the general public saves money on the reduced cost of our burgers. This saved money can then be spent on the rest of the economy. If we are to undertake the lofty ambition of changing the nature of work by way of robots, the fast-food industry seems like a good place to start, considering its inherently repetitive tasks and minimal skill requirements. Any roboticist worth his or her salt jumps at tasks described as repetitive and easy — perfect undertakings for a robot. Here's a schematic of what the burger-bot looks like and how it works. It occupies 24 square feet, so it's much smaller than most assembly-line fast-food operations. It boasts "gourmet cooking methods never before used in a fast food restaurant" and will even deposit your completed burger into a bag. It's a veritable Gutenberg printing press for hamburgers.

This movement is about changing the laws so that franchises are no longer considered private small businesses, but instead lump the workers together under the parent company. The plan is to ultimately unionize fast food workers and then force the parent corporation to provide health insurance for the workers.

Still, by world standards that is a rather low minimum wage.

But one thing is for sure, the bot won't be sneezing on burgers, calling in sick, arguing with coworkers, adopting a bad attitude or doing any of the "creative" things food service workers have been known to do. As long as it doesn't spring a hydraulic fluid leak on my double bacon bison/sausage burger, I'm good with it.

The minimum wage has to be adjusted upward from time to time. Unskilled labour is subject to exploitation, with your pool of labour mixed with a million or so illegals per year makes for a truly onerous situation. Historically, raising minimum wage has not caused the sky to fall.

15 MPH in downtown Chicago is considered'cooking'.
That's one reason I never drive downtown, it's what trains and walking shoes are for.

Set lofty goals and get the support right? Exactly apple. The unions are using these idiots as pawns to get at the corporate parent companies. And it is the workers who will ultimately suffer the consequences (which the unions will promptly blame on the corporations).
