CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
Local home care workers, nursing home workers, library staff, school district employees, fast food workers, and child care workers throughout Cleveland protested outside of City Hall on Tuesday, joining minimum wage workers in 500 cities nationwide to demand that elected leaders stand up for $15/hour and union rights.
Called “Fight for $15,” this is thelargest strike to ever hit America’s fast food industry, with walkouts planned in a record 270 cities.
The expansion of the Fight for $15 into the 2016 political arena marks the latest sign of the mounting political power of underpaid workers who launched their movement for higher pay and union rights in New York City three years ago.
