Hundreds of fast-food workers in Detroit are
walking off the job today to demand a $15-an-hour
wage and the right to unionize without intimidation,
as such demands continue to spread to fast-food
restaurants across the country.
Employees from at least 60 stores, including
McDonald's, Wendy's and Subway, are expected
to take part in the action.
Detroit is the fourth city to see such a strike
over the past five weeks after workers in
St. Louis walked off the job earlier this
week, following similar actions in Chicago
and New York.
