What’s your cost of living? How much does it take to support your family–food, clothing, rent et al? Could you survive on what fast food workers earn? Gee, where do all those billions of profits GO?
This video is called FAST FOOD WORKERS SET TO GO ON STRIKE ACROSS THE USA.
From daily The Morning Star in Britain:
Global fast-workers agree international day of protest over low wages and casual hours
Thursday 8th May 2014
International food workers’ union co-ordinates protest action in 30 countries over low pay and zero-hours contracts
Trade union organisers announced global actions against low pay in the fast-food industry outside a McDonald’s restaurant in New York, US, yesterday.
They said they were planning a day of protests next week, with co-ordinated actions expected in the US and more than 30 countries.
Union representatives from countries including Argentina, China, Italy, New Zealand and Panama gathered in New York this week to plan demonstrations on May 15.
Protests calling for pay of $15 (£8.84) an hour in the US have gained national support since they began in New York in late 2012.
