This Thursday, Fast food workers across the nation will go on a 24 hour strike to demand $15/hour and a union. The Fight for $15 movement has been gaining strength as fast food workers in new cities and workers in new industries join the campaign. As Memphis rallies, we welcome other TN cities in their first strike like in Knoxville!
This will be the one-year anniversary of Memphis fast food workers going on strike! Let’s show them that the community is STILL with them! Let’s send a strong message that Memphians believe that a full time job should keep you out of poverty, not in it!
Workers and allies will rally on Thursday, December 4th, 11:30 AM at theMcDonald’s at 2323 Lamar Ave, 38114 (Lamar near Airways). Feel free to bring friends, family and colleagues. Workers will also be rallying at locations all over town starting at 6:30 AM on Poplar Ave. So, if you want to join in earlier than 11:30 AM, contact Memph15 organizer, Antonio Cathey (901-612-0806) to find out our location.
