Protesters take part In nationwide rally for $15 minimum wage
By Lauren Seegers • April 16, 2015
Tens of thousands of protesters gathered across the country on Wednesday to speak out against low wages.
The demonstrations are led by the group Fight for $15, which seeks a minimum hourly wage of $15 for fast-food employees. Though McDonald’s raised hourly wages to $9.90 for a fraction of its workforce earlier this month, workers say this is hardly enough and are demanding a basic living wage.
