Thousands of Workers Seek $15 Wage, Unionization at McDonald's Meeting 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of workers are rallying for higher pay and the right to
unionize at the annual meeting of the fast-food giant Mc Donald's. A
major protest was held Wednesday outside the company's headquarters near
Chicago, and more actions are planned for today. Mc Donald's announced a
$1-an-hour minimum wage hike at company-owned stores last month, but
workers seek a $15-an-hour minimum wage in line with a growing movement
nationwide.
