参考答案【正确答案：C】
推断题。根据题干关键词定位到第三段。第三段主要说明雇主和工人在工资方面存在极大分歧。员工觉得工资过低，而雇主认为目前的工资水平是公正合理的，并且员工一味要求涨工资，最终会导致雇主裁员，损害员工自己的利益。由此可知C项“员工和雇主对工资有不同的看法”，符合题意，为正确答案。A项"工人工资低于国家最低工资”和B项“工人要求自由加入工会”，是对第三段第一句话的片面理解，原文是说“在快餐厅外游行的工人要求这些连锁运营商将时薪上调至15美元，并允许通过公平程序加入工会。目前快餐厅工人薪水最低可达每小时7.25美元，为美国最低工资标准”。D项“雇主在未来会裁员”属于过度推断，故排除。
