(2,419 posts)27. McDonalds Corporation....
made a PROFIT of $1.4 billion just in the fourth quarter of 2013 alone ! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-23/mcdonald-s-profit-little-changed-on-u-s-store-sales.html If they had to commit $400 million to increased wages and benefits for their workers, they would still make a $1 billion profit for three months without raising their prices a penny! Want to talk about billionaires climbing on the backs of their workers. My God. How can they say they can't pay a living wage with a straight face? Ahh, but shareholder return and the stock price rules all. Keep after it Struggle4progress!
