Brain surgeons, rocket scientists demand higher pay for skilled work

Nah, just kidding.

It's the uber-skilled and totally irreplaceable fast-food workers who are feeling woefully under-appreciated these days...

The LA Timesreports:

Beginning a day of protests that organizers say will spread to 50 cities and 1,000 stores across the country, a crowd of chanting workers gathered Thursday morning at a McDonald's in midtown Manhattan to call for higher wages and the chance to join a union.

About 500 people, including workers, activists, religious leaders, news crews and local politicians, gathered outside the McDonald's on Fifth Avenue. The protesters chanted "Si Se Puede" ("Yes, We Can") and "Hey, hey, ho, ho $7.25 has got to go," holding signs saying "On Strike: Can't Survive on $7.25," referring to the federal minimum wage.

The protesters plan to spread out to other stores throughout New York during the day. Protests are also expected in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, N.C., and other cities.

Question: How much sympathy do you think these folks will get from the unemployed Americans currently making $0.00/hour?
