Workers Strike in Over 300 Cities in Record Fight for $15 Action
----------------------------------------------------------------

Low-wage workers across the country walked off the job in more than 300
cities Thursday, marking the largest action to date in the growing
nationwide fight for a $15-an-hour minimum wage. The Fight for 15 has
brought together fast-food and childcare workers, adjunct professors,
healthcare workers and many more. Thursday's protests followed victories
in California and New York, which have become the first states to enact
a path toward establishing a $15-an-hour minimum wage in the coming
years.
