Earlier today, McDonald's made an announcement about workers' pay. But
there's a big catch: their plan impacts less than 10% of their
workforce. And even after the change, nearly everyone who works at
McDonald's will still get paid under $10 an hour – not nearly enough to
pay the bills. What's worse, roughly 1.6 million McDonald's workers will
get a raise of exactly ZERO dollars from this PR stunt. A big company
with $5.6 billion in profits could do a lot better than that.
It's probably no coincidence the company announced this the day after
workers announced plans for the largest-ever fast-food strike in U.S.
history.
Which is why we must show up. Bigger, stronger, and louder than ever.
We're fighting for $15 an hour and a union for everyone. And we won't
stop until we get there.
This is our moment and we can't afford to waste a second of it. Show up on April 15. Ask everyone you know to show up with you.
Thanks for standing with us,Thanks for standing with us,
Fight for $15
