Stand with striking Chicago fast food and retail workers!


http://action.fightfor15.org/page/s/fight-for-15


We, Chicago fast food and retail workers, are striking to demand $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation. Our employers are raking in profits while workers, mostly adults with families, don’t get paid enough to cover basic needs like food, rent, health care and transportation. We are willing to risk our jobs to stand up and say ENOUGH. And we need everyone who supports us to join us. It’s time to give every worker a chance to survive and thrive – and strengthen Chicago’s economy.

If you agree, add your name below, and then spread the word.

WGN News interviewed some jackass who works in an office near their protest march, and he said "these people" ought to be thankful to have a job, and they had a lot of nerve protesting. I wanted to jump through the TV and strangle him.
