Who's Keeping Burger King Workers below the Poverty Line? http://warongreed.org/burgerking What would you do with an extra $18,000 in your pocket? That's the amount of extra cash each and every Burger King employee in America would have received last year if Goldman Sachs (one of the fast-food chain's largest owners) had shared its bailout billions with rank-and-file workers. Instead, Goldman Sachs squandered 6.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars on bonuses for their financial staff. These were some of the highest bonuses on Wall Street! Meanwhile, Burger King workers earn wages averaging just $14,000 a year -- well below the federal poverty line for a family of three. Goldman Sachs has been having it their way with Burger King workers for too long. It's high time you had it your way with Goldman Sachs. Tell the Wall Street giant how they could have used the $6.5 billion blown on bonuses. We're looking for the most creative, constructive, or comical ideas to curb corporate greed and help fix the financial crisis. We will send all ideas to Goldman Sachs as a reprimand for their wastefulness. The winner of the Have It Your Way with Goldman Sachs contest will have their idea featured in our next video. The contest ends March 3. Pass this video and contest to your friends and family. http://warongreed.org/burgerking Tell them working people all over the country are pushing back against Wall Street excess. Tell them SEIU will lead the charge to hold demonstrations and hold Goldman Sachs accountable. And tell them it's time to end this era of corporate greed and impunity. Feb 17, 2009 7:33 AM
