| Subject: Idiots: U.S. fast-food workers plan nationwide strikes over minimum wage Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:28 am | |
| Fast-food workers across the United States are expected to stage their largest strike to date on Thursday in an almost year-long campaign to raise wages in the service sector.
Employees of McDonald's Corp, Wendy's Restaurants LLC, Burger King Worldwide Inc and others have pledged to walk off their jobs in 50 cities from Boston, Mass, to Alameda, Calif., organizers say. They are expected to be joined by retail employees at stores owned by Macy's Inc, Sears Holdings Corp and Dollar Tree Inc in some cities.
The strike follows a similar protest last November, when some 200 workers walked off their fast-food jobs in New York City. Groups in Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit and other cities followed their lead in April and July.
The workers are demanding that the federal minimum wage be raised to $15 per hour from the current $7.25. They also want to form unions without facing retaliation from franchisees or their parent companies.
