This upcoming Thursday, thousands of fast food employees will go on strike for the "Fight for $15" movement. These strikes have been occurring over the past two years, but this will be the first time in which these strikes could possibly use civil disobedience along the lines of violence. The "Fight for $15" campaign demands a minimum wage of $15 and the right to form a union. Many participants of this strike emphasize that they will "whatever it takes" to ensure the campaign's success. It is great to see that Americans are no longer willing to sit back and be satisfied with little to no pay, but there is no need for these people to use violence and other illegal activities as a way to get their point across.

i agree they shouldnt use violence to get their point across but i also think fast food workers should not try to get a minimum wage of $15
ReplyDeleteI understand that these workers work hard, and they struggle to maintain families but $15 for minimum wage is too high.It would be unfair for others who don't get paid that amount and have college education.
