The problem with this is no one earning < $22hr can afford to strike for any serious length of time. I like the idea of a high minimum wage or a minimum income (not both at the same time, though), but the right way to attack it is to get all those people you're targeting to vote, and make this their single biggest issue.
- gremlinsinc 13y agoThat's why my plan is this : Build a gamified app that is centered around getting wages >$22. -- Refer a friend to the movement and earn points, refer 5 get a badge, --go to a support rally or checkin at an event for the movement -get more badges(think Foursquare) - tweet about the movement earn badges... And you're right - those earning less than $22/hour can't afford to strike at least for prolonged periods- but phase 1 is really building a database and organization of people -- being able to send a txt msg to all McDonald's workers and say. Two day strike Monday and Tuesday. -- It would be more like flash strikes across related industries.. 2 days for MCd's, 2 Days for Wendy's..etc..rotate through the list-- all to bring awareness to the cause.
