Thousands are planning to march on McDonald’s in Chicago on Tuesday evening, demanding $15 an hour and union rights from the fast food giant they’ve dubbed “the Donald Trump of corporations.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n#FightFor15 Tweets\n<\/td>\n<\/tbody>\n

As\u00a0Common Dreams<\/em> reported, the march from Chicago’s Trump Tower to the city’s Rock N’ Roll McDonald’s joins two mass movements: the one opposed to the corporate-friendly Trump administration, and the one that’s been scoring victories for low-wage workers nationwide since its inception in 2012.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Like Trump, McDonald’s faces widespread charges of\u00a0stealing from workers’ paychecks,\u00a0sexually harassing women,\u00a0ripping off taxpayers, and\u00a0firing people\u00a0for speaking out,” organizers said in a press statement. This week, they continued, “[w]orkers and leaders from across the progressive movement will stress that resistance to Trump’s agenda must include resistance to companies like McDonald’s that are ‘the Donald Trump of corporations’.”<\/p>\n

As Missouri McDonald’s cashier Kenya Banks, who rode a bus eight hours to take part in Tuesday’s protest, wrote\u00a0at Civil Eats<\/em>:\u00a0“[A]s I march on McDonald\u2019s, it won’t just be for me. It will be for all the Americans who dream of a world where everyone from CEOs to President Trump give workers a fair shot. It will be for a world where the economy isn\u2019t rigged to only benefit the rich. It will be for a world where working for one of the richest corporations means you’ll never wind up homeless.”<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s demonstration will be followed Wednesday morning by a rally and protest outside the McDonald’s shareholder meeting in Oak Brook, Illinois. Solidarity events are also taking place across the country on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier Tuesday,\u00a0fast food workers and community\u00a0members gathered in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood for a mock groundbreaking ceremony at the future site of McDonald’s new headquarters. Sharing their vision for what a “new” McDonald’s would look like, they staked signs into the ground that read, “Pays $15,” “Says No to Sexual Harassment,” and “Pays Its Taxes.”<\/p>\n

“We need a McDonald\u2019s that pays us a living wage,” said Ashley Bruce, a Fight for $15 leader and McDonald’s worker of 4 years. “We need $15 an hour to sustain our families. We can’t keep trying to make ends meet like this. This is not working for us. We deserve to live. We’re barely making it on $10.50 an hour.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
