We all work the same hours, but others get paid more, doesn\u2019t it feel like something is off?<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Easterbrook is the CEO of McDonalds, and his salary goes up to 1.1 million. The worker that work about 24 hours a day, 7 days a week get paid $9.25, that of course goes to a crew member. Obviously Steve Eastbrook has done very well in life. That’s true, but if it weren\u2019t for the workers, there would be no McDonalds. <\/span><\/p>\n

I was told by Halah Abdulkareem, who used to work at McDonald\u2019s when she was in highschool, says, \u201cWhen I worked at McDonald\u2019s it took up a lot of my time, but I was only paid about 5-7 dollars an hour\u201d. Being in high school and having a job can be challenging. Halah expressed that she worked 4 days a week and it wasn\u2019t even worth it. With the hard work that the McDonald workers put in they deserve more than $9.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, fast-food workers were protesting for an increase in their pay , that would be 6 dollars more bringing it up to $15. Some say that 2-3 dollars more can help. If the CEO is making millions of dollars, why can\u2019t the workers get a permanent pay raise. After all they are the ones putting all their hard work to make money, but it is still not enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ehighten Amal Ahmed who worked at Subway stated ,\u201dIt\u2019s hard to pay off college, when i\u2019m working so many hours, but i\u2019m \u00a0not getting paid what I deserve.\u201d There is a mass amount of fast-food workers across the country who deserve more than they are paid and it\u2019s not fair to them to get paid $9 an hour. <\/span><\/p>\n
