Fast food workers in U.S. pushing for $15 minimum wage

The Fight for $15 movement in the U.S. is on the streets of many major cities today (Tuesday, November 10, 2015) demanding the new minimum wage for all 12 million fast food workers in the country. At present, their median wage if 9.20 an hour. Ontario’s minimum wage (in Canadian dollars) has just risen $11.25 an hours, second highest the country. Part of the strategy of the rallies is to influence the 2016 presidential election, which is one year away.  Most minimum wage employees do not vote.
