I am still predicting wage riots in the next few years.
Anyway in NY they’re back at it.
In much the same vein, a union-backed, New York-based community action group is trying for the third time since November to more than double the minimum wage of workers in the fast food industry via one-day walkouts they’ve organized in seven cities.
As my co-host Jeff Macke and I discuss in the attached video, in addition to their demand to earn a living wage, the group Fast Food Forward is, once again, also calling for better benefits, more hours and, unsurprisingly, the right to unionize.
