There's a meme being debated right now that says McDonald's workers in Denmark make $22 U.S. per hour plus they have 6 weeks of vacation.

Is this accurate? U.S. McDonald's workers make much less than this.

Can you work at a fast food place like McDonald's and have a decent standard of living?

Yes and they are not even forced to offer it by law. The salary is also just half of it. McDonald’s is known to be an excellent workplace in Denmark with a well developped employee training program that makes mcdonalds employees attractive to other workplaces. 

It’s interesting to note that when McDonalds came to Denmark in the 80s they thought they didnt have to adhere to the labor culture here and offered the same terms as in the US. A general strike was called against them resulting in their goods not being unloaded at the harbor, not transported by trucks, their stores not cleaned, etc.  

Let’s just say in addition to what you asked employees today also get paid sick days (and not limited to x amount), 48 weeks paid maternity / paternity leave, paid child sick days, pension, night and weekend bonuses, etc. 

Organizing works.
