We took #fightfor15 to the streets for Labor Day
Three dozen CCI members and activists took action in the spirit of Labor Day by lifting up the need for all workers to make a living wage and better quality workplace conditions!
Members went to the McDonald’s on East 14th St in Des Moines where we received an outpouring of support from passing cars and people – honks filled the air. Iowans know we need $15/hr!
After, we marched to the Capitol where we called on legislators to take action immediately when the session starts to raise the wage to a living wage.
CCI launched the Fight for $15 campaign in August, joining the national movement for a $15/hr minimum wage, better working conditions and a union.
This is how YOU can get involved in this critical movement:
Fast Food Fridays! We call on a McDonald’s to raise their wage every second and fourth Friday of the month with a rally! It’s fun, and we need your voice!
