Happy anniversary @fightfor15 ! #IBelieveThatWeCanWin #FastfoodGlobal

Steven Greenhouse@greenhousenyt

Today is the 7th anniversary of the first @fightfor15 strike when 200 workers walked out at 20 restaurants in NYC. That effort ultimately accomplished far more than many people expected, with NY, CA, CT, IL, MA, MD, NJ & many cities enacting a $15 minimum https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/30/nyregion/fast-food-workers-in-new-york-city-rally-for-higher-wages.html
