Fast food employees across the country are going on strike for better pay and better treatment. We’re risking our jobs by walking out and we need to know – and let our employers know – that you have our backs. Truth is, the companies we work for wish they could fire every single worker who goes on strike, but people like you can stop them.
Tell Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, Domino’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and all fast food chains not to retaliate against their employees. Sign the petition: http://tinyurl.com/kwu2j8p
