Fast Food Workers Fight for $15
“Our mission is to follow the tradition of the sanitation workers and move history forward to demand $15 an hour and union rights,” said Tyree Johnson, a McDonald’s fast food worker. “In 1968, things were much different because of the color of our skin, and our background. But we should be a lot further ahead with economic and racial justice than we are.”
