Tell fast food chains: Let the workers strike for their rights!
We know by now that fast food workers aren't making enough to survive. And our economy can't thrive if so many people are being held back. And our economy can't thrive if so many people are being held back.
We can change this. Fast food workers in across the country went on strike on Monday. And they need to know that you've got their backs.
Big fast food chains – Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Domino's, Dunkin' Donuts and others – wish they could fire every single person who stands up for better pay. These companies want to take away workers' right to strike in order to limit workers' power and hold down wages. But people like you and I can stop them.
Agree? Add your name to today to tell Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, Domino’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and all fast food chains not to retaliate against their employees:
I support the striking fast food workers across the country and call on fast food chains to allow your employees to strike for better pay and better treatment without retaliation.
