Meet The Workers Walking Off The Job In The Biggest Low-Wage Strike Yet | ThinkProgress

On Thursday, low-wage workers across a number of industries walked off the job in a record 320 cities as part of the latest action from the Fight for 15 movement demanding a $15 minimum wage and the right to form unions.

Workers from the fast food industry — who have been staging increasingly large strikes over the last three years — will be joined by employees from other sectors. The movement that started in New York with McDonald’s and Burger King employees has now spread across the country to include child care workers, nursing home assistants, adjunct professors, and even Boston-area airport workers. It will also coincide with the second day of a strike staged by nearly 40,000 Verizon workers.
