Fast food workers go on strike nationwide to protest lack of a decent wage
U.S. fast-food workers seeking higher wages are planning a strike on Thursday that could affect thousands of restaurants that they say make huge profits from paying them a pittance.
The strike will be the latest in a series of protests over the past 18 months in the United States that have targeted fast-food restaurant operators, including McDonald’s Corp and Burger King Worldwide Inc.
Fast-food workers are seeking $15 an hour and the right to unionize without retaliation, union leaders said.
