"we, as a country, are essentially subsidizing the wages of these workers for companies that don't feel like paying their employees enough to live on, perhaps that is not as effective as hearing it directly from the horse's mouth.

In every McDonald's, there are posters advertising a "McResources" hotline for employees having a hard time getting along financially. Guess what happens when an employee calls one of those "McResources" lines? Well, they get an operator, on the other end, explaining to them how to sign up for SNAP and Medicaid. Here is a a call from ten-year McDonald's employee Nancy Salgado (who makes $8.25 an hour and has never received a raise), recorded by the folks at Low Pay is Not OK, in which she asks an operator about what to do about not being able to afford food or healthcare, and is instructed to sign up for social safety net programs."blo
