McDonald’s thinks we’re disposable – so it’s up to us to stand up for our lives, the lives of our communities, and for what’s right.
All over the country, Fight for $15 workers have been walking off the job – and winning. When we stand up together we can’t be ignored.
Los Angeles
After a Domino’s worker was hospitalized with COVID-19, workers went on strike demanding paid sick leave and a thorough deep cleaning of the store — and that’s exactly what they got.
After 3 weeks on strike, on May 1st we felt safe enough to return to work at @dominos in LA
The @NYTimes, working with Domino's workers Carlos Contreras and Felix Lopez, documented our strike, victory, and our ongoing fight https://t.co/3W0i1taNya #ProtectAllWorkers #FightFor15

Iowa
In Iowa, McDonald’s workers demanded and won a 10% wage increase and personal protective equipment.
San Francisco
At a McDonald’s, workers say they weren’t being paid if they were forced to quarantine and that managers told them to wear COFFEE FILTERS as face masks. After going on strike, all hourly workers won “thank you pay” increasing their wages.

Every hour of hazard pay, every bottle of hand sanitizer or box of facemasks, and every store deep clean is a victory: for us, for our families, and for our communities. That’s why we strike, and why we won’t back down.
Add your name to stand with us as we strike for what we need to survive.
