Unfortunately, fast food & other service sector jobs are "the growth industry of our time, and it has become a breadwinner job; just 16% of all fast-food workers are teenagers, from 25% ten years ago. Post-recession job growth has come almost entirely from this sector or low-wage sectors like it. These are the new manufacturing jobs, staffed by Americans denied access to the opportunities of elites. Their unity is all they have as a bargaining chip. The fact that the workers are calling for $15/hour has been criticized by people who apparently don’t know a negotiating tactic when they see one. The strikes so far have resulted in smaller wage increases, up to 50 cents an hour. That’s what’s called building worker power."
