Bernie Sanders escalated his war against McDonald’s Wednesday when he called for nationwide strike against the country’s most popular restaurant, demanding outrageous benefits for all workers including pensions and life insurance.
“In Denmark, the average worker in McDonald’s makes $22 an hour, receives 6 weeks of paid vacation, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and a pension. Yes. If McDonald’s workers in Denmark can have a decent standard of living, we can do it in the U.S. #McDonaldsStrike,” posted Sanders on Twitter.

CALIFORNIA CHAOS: McDonald’s Tests ‘Anti-Loitering’ Siren to Keep Homeless from Restaurants
Fast-food giant McDonald’s is poised to introduce a drastic measure to keep California’s homeless crisis from impacting their restaurants; testing new “anti-loitering” sirens to discourage transients from setting up tents near their drive-thru windows.
“This Sacramento McDonald’s isn’t lovin’ it, when it comes to people loitering outside its restaurant. So, management is using an unusual measure to disperse the crowd: an unpleasant noise, piped outside, that is meant to frustrate, aggravate and clear out anybody within earshot,” reports Fox Business.
“Recent Yelp reviews suggest that that McDonald’s management at this location are not the only ones who have noticed a serious loitering problem,” adds Fox.
“Pretty dirty mcd with alot of homeless people and riff raff. Employees are nice but there is alot of questionable people in this area. Recommend drive through only esp at night,” posted one reviewer.
“Crazy homeless people acting weird and frantic (I have no problem w homeless people sharing the same eating location as I do, everyone needs to eat! But these ones were not behaving normally- not violent but disturbing!)” posted another.

UNHAPPY MEALS: Bernie Says Walmart, McDonald’s ‘Pay Wages So Low’ Employees Need Food Stamps
Senator Bernie Sanders targeted two of the nation’s largest employers on social media Friday; saying Walmart and McDonald’s pay hourly wages so low that workers “rely on food stamps, Medicaid, and public housing.”
“Walmart & McDonald’s pay wages so low that tens of thousands of their workers are forced to rely on food stamps, Medicaid & public housing. I invited the CEOs of these companies to a hearing to explain why they can’t afford to pay a $15 minimum wage. Taxpayers deserve an answer,” said Sanders.

Sanders is calling for a nationwide $15-per-hour minimum wage.
Economists say the proposal could slash nearly 2 million jobs as employers are forced to lose workers to compensate for the higher salaries.
