Fast food workers call for higher wages

Workers at some fast food restaurants in the New York City area walked off the job on Thursday.
A large group gathered outside a McDonald's on Madison and 40th St. in Manhattan demanding higher wages and the approval of a workers union.
"They're giving us $7.25 an hour, so many of my co-workers are living on food stamps. You can't live on that in this city," a protester told Good Day NY.
The workers who say they don't make enough to put food on the table for their families would like an increase in their hourly pay to $15.

...sounds like everything is going according to plan. How can one of the most liberal and affluent city in America allow such a thing ?
On the one hand the government taxes and regulates Micky D's to establish a threshold of basic operation cost and on the other hand subsidizes the labor force with food stamps and perhaps a hand from the department of labor. How soon till we simply recognize McDonalds as a subsidiary of state, local and federal government ?
The new 'Hamburgler' at 40th and Madison is probably the employee roster.
