Fight for $15
The Fight for $15 and a Union began in 2012 when two hundred fast-food workers walked off the job to demand $15 an hour and union rights in New York City. Today, it’s a global movement impacting wages around the world.
McDonald’s and low-wage employers everywhere make billions of dollars in profit, push costs onto taxpayers and deny responsibility for workplace abuse, while leaving workers in a struggle to survive.
The Fight for $15 and a union has already won $70 billion in raises for more than 24 million people across the country and millions more on their way to $15 an hour – all because courageous workers came together and took action to lift up themselves and all low-wage workers. And they will keep on organizing and fighting, no matter the challenge.
