“The protest movement first began in New York last November with a strike by 200 workers but quickly spread across the country with strikes in July taking place in Chicago, Detroit, Flint, Kansas City, Milwaukee and St Louis. On Thursday organizers said the strike will hit some 1,000 major fast-food restaurants, including Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC. ‘Hold the burgers, hold the fries, make worker wages supersize!’ read a tweet from Fight for 15, a workers organizing committee. ‘Many of these workers have children and are trying to support a family,’ said Mary Kay Henry of the Service Employees International Union, which is supporting the strike.”
