“A local McDonald’s restaurant was forced to close after its employees walked out and hundreds gathered outside to protest for higher wages. The restaurant on 8 Mile and Lahser roads along the Detroit/Southfield city line was just one location locally where fast food workers are participating in a nationwide ‘walkout for better wages.’ Over 200 protestors crowded the restaurant, carrying signs that read ‘We are worth more. Strike for 15,’ as in $15 an hour. The National Restaurant Association says the low wages reflect the fact that most fast-food workers tend to be younger and have little work experience.”
