“As a large ‘Christmas Grinch’ ambled about in freezing temperatures, demonstrators chanted for the minimum wage to be increased to $15 per hour. It was the first of nine strikes in Chicago, with employees at McDonalds, Wendy’s, Walgreens, Macy’s and Sears also due to walk off shift. Low wage workers were due to strike across 100 cities through the day, including Boston, Detroit, New York City, Oakland, Los Angeles and St Louis. The president has suggested he would back a Senate measure to increase the minimum wage to $10.10. Obama had previously called for the wage to be increased in his State of the Union address in February.”
