Serious question though, how is Schuylaar pronounced? I see the 'uy' and to me that reads as 'we'.
Is it like squealer or sky-ler?

I know about employee assistance lines, my company has them. Can you link me to something saying exactly what you are?

And it did not say what you said.
His link shows that McDonald's has a help line where they will direct you to SNAP, etc. where you sign yourself up.
Your claim is that McDonald's has an employee who signs people up, instead of directing where other employees could sign themselves up.
Large difference.

not really, it's a difference of who puts the ink on the paperwork.
no matter what, it's still you and me paying the mcdonald's employee what mcdonald's refuses to pay him.
i could care less who puts some ink on paper, i am much more concerned about a company so unscrupulous that taxpayers are forced to make up the difference that they won't.

One is on McDonald's payroll one is on the taxpayers payroll.
I see see a vast difference between them.
What's happening: I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Here are options you can take and where you can go to use them.
What yall are trying to say is happening: I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Let me sign you up for foodstamps.
So far, reality and what y'all are saying isn't matching up.
Those employee assistance lines offer help for all sorts of things. Family issues, law issues, etc. They are supposed to help direct you in the right direction.

I complain about able-bodied "men" who won't support themselves or the children they bring into the world who think they deserve to live off the toil of others. What do you care about minimum wage? It's not like you'd work for for $31.00/hr either. Lazy piece of white trash, bringing in another generation of white trash for the rest of the world to support.

McDonald's is finally getting real about helping its workers get by. The company has moved past the fake budget that includes a second job and allocates just $20 a month for health insurance. Nope, now McDonald's is giving workers the real secret to survival on McDonald's wages: government assistance. Chicago McDonald's worker Nancy Salgadoa single mother, 10-year McDonald's employee making the state minimum wage of $8.25, and activist who has twice joined one-day strikes for higher wagescalled the "McResources" 1-800 number:
The McResources staffer offers her a number to ask about things like food pantries and tells her she would most likely be eligible for SNAP benefits which she explains are food stamps. After Salgado asks about the doctor, the staffer asks, Did you try to get on Medicaid? She notes its health coverage for low income or no income adults and children. [...] In the full, fifteen-minute audio, which was provided to Salon by the campaign, the McResources counselor can also be heard telling Salgado she definitely should be able to qualify for both food stamps and heating assistance. She tells Salgado that having food stamps takes a lot of the pressure off how much money you spend on groceries. She also tells Salgado she may possibly qualify for Medicaid, though I wouldnt want to get your hopes up.
McDonald's answer to living on $8.25 an hour: food stamps. Also heating assistance. And maybe Medicaid. This is totally realistic and in fact what makes survival on $8.25 an hour possible for most people. But could it possibly highlight more perfectly the reliance of the fast food industry on government assistance to subsidize poverty wages? It's basically a straight-up admission from McDonald's that the highly profitable company knows it isn't paying workers enough to live on and is looking to taxpayers to make that possible while keeping profits high and prices low. This has got to be one of the most f'ed up, corrupt kinds of capitalism imaginable: companies padding their profits by pushing their workers onto public assistance. And it's a feature, not a bug.
So for every person who worries what would happen to the price of their Big Mac if McDonald's had to pay a living wage, there should be a couple who'd be saving by not having to subsidize the other guy's cheap hamburger and McDonald's high profits. I'd mention the benefit to workers and to the basic value that work should pay enough to live on, but let's be real: Those things obviously don't matter to McDonald's.
