Fast-Food Workers Across the Country Demand Higher Wages</span></font></span></p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"> </p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"> </p></span><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Across America tonight, a lot of people at the drive-thru window at your favorite fast food restaurant are asking the question: “What is a fair living wage?” People on minimum wage jobs went on strike today. They now earn 7 dollars and 25 cents an hour. They are asking for twice that - 15 dollars. ABC’s Chief Business and Economics Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis.</span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Outrage in Chicago, in Indianapolis and Los Angeles today. Employees at 1,000 fast food restaurants in 50 cities walking out of work and onto picket lines, even forcing some to shut down. </span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Interviewee: My whole household of 7 people is surviving on my eight dollars an hour. So, we're barely holding our head over water. Demanding the minimum wage more than doubles from $7.25 an hour to $15. So, is it possible? For a burger off the dollar menu, McDonald's pays about 34 cents for the cost of food, 23 cents in rent, 25 cents goes to hourly workers, leaving about 18 cents of profit. Analysts say, even if McDonald's wanted to, it couldn't afford to pay employees double without raising prices. How much higher would prices go? About 25 percent. So that dollar menu item would tick up to about $1.25. McDonald’s says, it aims to offer competitive pay and benefits to our employees. But that's hard for this working mom to swallow.</span></p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"> </p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"> </p></span><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(102, 232, 255);">KEY WORDS</font></span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"> </p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">drive-thru window 차에서 안 내리고 음식 받아가는 곳/ fair living wage 공정한 생활 임금/ minimum wage jobs 최소 임금을 받는 직종/ earn 벌다/ outrage 분노/ go on strike 파업을 하다/ walk out of work 파업을 하다/ picket lines 피켓 시위를 벌이고 있는 현장/ shut down 폐쇄하다, 영업을 중단하다/ household 가정/ survive on ~에 의존해서 살아가다/ barely hold one’s head over water 간신히 연명하다/ hourly worker(s) 시급 근로자/ profit 수익/ afford ~할 여력이 되다/ tick up (소폭) 상승하다/ aim to ~할 예정이다/ competitive pay and benefits 1.

So, are they hurting more than they're helping? ABC's Bianna Golodryga takes a closer look. </span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Middle schooler, Lucy Williams, has multiple report cards to worry about - the one concerning her academic grades; and this one, concerning her weight. The “fitnessgram” Lucy recently received from her school is part of a growing initiative to track student’s body mass indexes or BMIs. Schools in 19 states from Arkansas to Illinois take part measuring students at annual weigh-ins, then sending reports home to parents, indicating whether a child is in the Green: healthy zone, or the Red: danger zone.</span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pediatricians say BMI readings are helpful in combating childhood obesity. </span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Doctor: Right now, it's the best measurement that we have to determine whether a child's weight is healthy or unhealthy. But eating disorder experts worry the readings do more harm than good. </span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Interviewee: I would like to see BMI testing in schools banned. I’m for those who are already insecure about their weight. Ah, these tests can potentially trigger an eating disorder. </span></p><p class="바탕글" style="line-height: 120%; -ms-layout-grid-mode: char;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">More than 40% of 9 and 10 year-old girls have already been on a diet.
