Fast Food Protests- Business

http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/29/smallbusiness/fast-food-strike-mcdonalds/index.html?iid=Lead

This article covers unhappy employees of fast food establishments in New York who are protesting for higher pay and the right to unionize. The workers want a pay raise to $15, which seems quite extreme given the $9 an hour average rate for their jobs. If they were to unionize and achieve this desired rate, this could vastly impact the fast food industry by driving prices up, thereby passing higher prices along to American consumers who buy fast food.
