Fast-food employees will strike Friday to demand a national minimum wage of at least $15 an hour. The strike will take place on what would be Martin Luther King Jr's 92nd birthday. Strike organizer "Fight for 15" is aiming to pressure the Biden-Harris administration. They hope to prioritize the wage increase to help close the wage gap among workers of color. $15 an hour and the right to unionize would change the lives of the workers for the better. In many areas $15 isn't even enough to live on anymore, reports Business Insider.
