Eidelson: Fast-Food Workers Walk Out in Chicago
In his latest piece at Salon, Josh Eidelson talks about a planned walkout by fast-food workers in Chicago.
The walkout began, the Chicago Tribune reports, at 5:30 a.m. local time with workers from some McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts stores walking off the job. The ultimate goal of the walkout is to support the Fight for $15 campaign, whose goal is to secure a wage of $15 per hour for workers. Also expected to join the walkout were workers from Subway, Macy's, Sears and Victoria's Secret.
