How Successful Has The Fast Food Workers Walkout Been?......

I hope it went well for them. I'm thinking concurrently - we the people should have boycotted the fast food venues at the same time. A double whammy.

But maybe it's better to boycott fast food venues at a time when they have to employ people to run the restaurant and nobody shows.

And employees hate getting paid shit-fifty an hour. You protest in a polite, unobtrusive fashion, you get ignored.

Also, do workers reach a point where nothing else has worked and they've got nothing left to lose?

Of course employers hate them. That's kinda the point. Employees aren't particularly fond of them either.
