Thousands Protest McDonald's & Amazon Shareholder Meetings
 
------------------------------------------------------------

And in Chicago, thousands of people marched Tuesday in advance of Mc
Donald's annual shareholder meeting today, demanding a $15 minimum wage
and better working conditions. Despite the rain, fast-food workers, home
care aides and other low-wage workers poured into the streets, holding
signs reading "Mc Jobs Cost Us All." Protesters also gathered outside
Amazon's annual shareholder meeting in Seattle Tuesday to demand better
conditions and contracts for Amazon workers, as well as that the company
stop advertising on the far-right-wing website Breitbart News.
