US fast-food workers plan rallies
New York
FAST-FOOD workers will hold rallies in 230 US cities on Wednesday in their biggest protest yet for higher pay and union rights.
The events were organised by the union-backed "Fight for $15" campaign, which is demanding that McDonald's Corp and other fast-food chains raise their minimum wages to US$15 and let workers unionise. The protests will be the largest action to date for a movement that begun in November 2012, organisers said.
