Fast-food and other low-wage workers picketed outside burger joints in New York and across the country Wednesday, demanding pay hikes to at least $15 an hour.
About 500 protesters brought the lunch rush to a halt at an Upper West Side McDonald’s while shouting: “We believe that we will win!”
Cops etched out a clear path for customers to enter the McD’s at 71st Street and Amsterdam Avenue, but virtually no one slipped inside while protesters staged their rally for 30 minutes.
“It’s important that workers, instead of having to grovel and beg for a decent wage, are actually showing their power as a collective force, to demand that they get paid a decent wage so they can live decently in this most expensive city,” Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal (D-Upper West Side) told protesters.
