Former Vice President Joe Biden pledged his support to unionize the fast food giant McDonald’s on Thursday, claiming it was a vital step to correct power imbalances in the American economy.Biden, who often touts himself as a “union man” on the campaign trail, made the promise while speaking at a rally organized by the progressive organization Fight for 15 in Los Angeles, California. During his remarks, which came only hours before the Democrat presidential primary debate, the former vice president channeled his more progressive rivals when stating that fight for $15-an-hour was about more than economics.

If this boob gets elected then sell Short on McDonalds stock. I'm sure no one will pay $10 for a Cheeseburger.

Great idea, Joe. They’ll just replace all of those new union workers with robots which will actually do a better job. I still remember when fast food was actually fast.

They're independently operated. I'm don't think they can all be unionized. One by one if you've got the time.

#3 is correct.
The legal argument advanced by unions and their lawyers is that even though McDonald's is really owned by franchise operators, it is, for practiocal purposes, one big company. Therefore, when one franchise is represented by a union, the union should be able to go on strike against as many franchises as it wants to strike. (and collect all those union dues!)
I doubt that a graduate of a third rate law school (Biden/Syracuse)(or Cherokee Lizzie/ Rutgers) would understand the legal complexities here.
And I continue to grieve for the sweaty, pretty young strawberry blonde woman who is suffering from global warming, caught in my computer. She must not know it is cold outside, baby!

So NOW the Gobment is going to unionize employers? Next step, nationalize them and take them over. Next step, take all the business owners out back and place a bullet in the back of their heads and we now have a pure Marxist paradise right here in the USA, comrade! Bernie or Elizabeth may think they are pure, but standing right behind them is a Lenin or Marx ready to off them and take over and start murdering millions of us in the USA. We will then defend or die! It's coming. Be prepared! I think within 10 years when the stock market finally takes a dump because of the debt load we are carrying and it will take an SUV full of $100 dollar bills to buy a loaf of bread. Read about Germany in the '30's! I'm 66 and won't be around much longer. Just had a minor stroke, so future ones are a certainty. I'm going to be with Jesus and the Millennials will get to deal with what they have made. Talk about being "triggered"? It will take on a new meaning which will be a bit more literal...no? Store up some food and supplies as you can. If you can buy some silver and gold in small 1/4 ounce quantities. Stock up on cigarettes and anything else that people will be desperate for during a crisis. (toilet paper?)... It's going to get horrific in the near future...but the Bible predicted all of this thousands of years ago. Read Daniel and Ezekial and Revelation! It's all there. Hang on for the ride because when Trump is done...America is done and the Millennials take over!

Gropin, Creepy, Sleepy and now desperate Joe is really over the edge. He's always been bailed out by the unions / sold out to the unions. Hey, wait a minute, could that be a "quid pro quo"? Let's see if someone can total all the money he's taken from unions over the years, millions and possibly many tens of millions would be my guess. However, President Trump asks Ukraine to investigate corruption and that is impeachable. Sick world!

McDonald's restaurants are individually owned franchises. The corporate McDonald's does not employee the restaurant workers.

Everyone who has driven up to the window or opened the door of a fast food joint has seen the sticker or plaque stating who owns the establishment. I hope Joe's border collies keep up the good work.

Not to worry. The McDonalds employees I've seen cant even say "union" without dropping an F bomb in front of it. These are not formidable opponents.

My son worked at a grocery store while in high school. After 6 months of employment, he was put into the union. The dues were equal to one hour's pay per week. So, he had to pay into the union every week but he could not get benefits from the union until he had work a certain number of hours. (maybe 1500 hours) So, a part-time person is fleeced because they pay for a long time until they have a accumulated enough hours. (He got a different job.)

And the list of democrats who would kill the economy and jobs continues to grow. They just cannot handle the fact that a business builder is in the WH right now, and he is doing just fine. The democrats are business punishers and destroyers by comparison with their stupid commie marxist ideas.

Why would our govt want to unionize McDonald's and at the same time take away our beef via climate change? Seems their left hand doesn't know what their other left hand is doing.

Joe thinks he can do all kinds of things. Unionize any company, beat up people, brag about money laundering, all in a days work for super Joe. What a punk.
