Low Pay Is Not Ok: Low-Wage Workers Again Walk Off Their Jobs, More Actions Planned
Sign the petition: http://tinyurl.com/kwu2j8p
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

Milwaukee, August 1: Fast Food Workers Day of Action For Higher Wages
From Wisconsin Jobs Now:
It’s been a long time since the May 15 strike. It’s time again to join workers in fast food, retail, healthcare and other low-wage professions across the country uniting for better pay and workplace respect.
If 35% of the city only earns poverty wages – we must take direct action for change!
Stand with workers demanding the wages they deserve so they can provide for their families, improve our communities, and build a stronger economy for everyone.
Day of Action for Higher Wages!
