According to a new report from Fox News, there may no longer be a dollar menu. Fast food workers are fighting for a $15 minimum wage salary. In Detroit, McDonald's was forced to close its doors when the employees walked out and started striking because they aren't making enough money. The protests are taking place in New York, Boston, and Chicago.
Workers are chanting things like “Hey! hey! Ho! Ho! $7.40's got to go!” outside of their establishments. Lack of awareness about the strikes is proving challenges for the workers. It has been said that the strikes are expected to reach almost 50 cities before this time next week. The biggest effort was over the summer in New York, where almost 2,200 people participated in a seven-city, one-day strike.
Although people aren't planning to stop their regular McDonald's trips, many American citizens support the strike completely.
