Or from a more selfish perspective: an increase in burger flipping wages greatly increases your bargaining power in your own salary negotiations.

"For that wage I could just as well be flipping burgers, and that comes with much lower risk of personal injury."

Never forget that solidarity benefits you personally, no matter how much the owning class and media try to pit us against each other. Also death to Israel.
