[NEWS] 180 million Indian workers strike for labor reform

[Lord Tony®]

It's not entitlement to not want to work three different jobs in order to afford basic living conditions

While the indians have to work like 10 different jobs just to get enough rice for their starving family.

[Lord Tony®]

I hope they get what they want, that would be great having everyone working for livable wages

This forgets up the wages for actual jobs like office jobs or technical jobs that pay 15 an hour and now they have to raise it to compensate which will put small businesses out of business.

McDonald's is not a career

[sir dooble]

McDonald employees demanding a 5 dollar increase and other bullstuff. They make a lot more than indian employees.

They also live in a country with much higher costs of living than India. If the cost of living is higher then you would want to be on comparatively higher pay. What costs $10 in India may cost $15 in America.

And if Indians are demanding $10/hr in a country with a lower cost of living, and lower quality of living, then US workers should be expecting to be on more than $10/hr in their more expensive nation.

McDonald Employees demanding 15 dollars. The indians don't even have that much self entitlement as they only ask for 10.

One group being in a worse position doesn't mean that a better off group doesn't deserve its own progression.

By your argument the Indians are selfish because they already get $1 and have homes while Syrian Refugees have no jobs and no homes.
Nobody but the least well off person on Earth is allowed to want more.

Speaking of actual jobs, how's your career going?

McDonald's is not a career

Are you currently employed? Do you have anyone in your household that depends on your income? Are you living in a household with a rent/mortgage that's being handled by your payroll?

[Frequency]

McDonald's is not a career

Well it could be if you were doing corporate stuff, buuuut...

[sir dooble]

McDonald's is not a career

Not everyone needs/wants/can have a career.
Lots of, probably most, people just need a means of providing for themselves and their family.

Most people you meet are on the bottom rung, or close to bottom. And most expect that bottom rung to give them at least a living wage.

No need to get defensive. Him saying that a McJob isn't the same as a true 'career' isn't really an insult towards the people who have to work such jobs.

I definitely took it as the same sort of handicap who says that fast-food jobs are exclusively for teenagers before they move up in the world.

The other implication is that only a career (a job with room for upward mobility in its industry) should be expected to provide a living wage.
Most retail jobs aren't careers, but it's expected that people can live off of them.
