Like the title says! If you don't like the money you make, find a new job that pays more... if you don't like the job you have, find a new job that you do like... If you can't find a new job, get some new skills that will help you find a new job... If there are no jobs where you live, maybe you better move to a place where there are jobs to be had.
You knew what you were getting into when you accepted the job, it isn't like they hid the salary, no bait and switch to get you into the door and fool you into staying! I appreciate the people who work in these places, I am polite to them, I say please and thank you, I understand the job sucks because I have done the job a long time ago, as a teenager. It is an entry level job people, it isn't a career, it doesn't provide a salary that could support a family, it is fast food FFS!
The unions behind this also piss me off. The need more members so they can collect dues that they then use to influence the political process. They may say they are in it to help the "working man" but that is crap. If that was true then the union bosses would go on strike pay when their fellow workers are on strike. Unions had a place once, a long time ago, when companies abused workers. But with Federal and Provincial regulations those days are long gone. There is nothing a union does but drive up labour costs, and you know the company just passes those costs onto the consumer. These are the same people that would put a company out of business and then complain there are no jobs to be found.
This quote really made me shake my head: "Mr. Rojas said he had studied for a pharmacy technician’s certificate, but he had been unable to save the $100 needed to apply for a license."
Now, I don't know Mr. Rojas, but going on strike for one day means one less day's pay. If you can't find a way to save $100, how is not working going to fix that? I would add that if Mr. Rojas has a cell phone, video game system, computer, or similar leisure item he needs to reasses how he spends and saves. And if he is like any other 23 year old male he has all 3.
