"Loser, loner, McDonald's--worker". Fast food work has long been denigrated as a low-pay dirty job predominantly staffed by teenagers and under-skilled under-privileged workers who lack better job opportunities.

Basically, politics is how we determine who gets what part of the pie. Fast food workers are sympathetic and politically powerful right now. They simply have more political power than other minimum wage workers and they are now cashing in on that political power.
