Looking to double their wages, SEIU-led fast food workers are planning to strike multiple chains on August 29th.
As Labor Day approaches, fast-food workers are stepping up their demands for better wages and calling for a nationwide strike next week.
Workers in eight cities, including New York, are planning a major walkout on Thursday, Aug. 29.
The move is part of a growing campaign by disgruntled employees from companies including KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s to fight for $15 an hour and the right to form a union. The movement is backed by the Service Employees International Union and other labor and religious groups.
The question is: Will anyone outside of the chains themselves notice?
