HUNGRY FOR DECENT PAY
Fast food workers rally across Britain and the US for a better wage

FAST food giants across the country found themselves invaded by workers demanding better pay, as British trade unionists and campaigners took part in an international day of action yesterday.

In London, bakers’ union BFAWU campaign Hungry For Justice hosted a protest outside Marble Arch’s McDonald’s, with dozens of campaigners rallying to demand a £10 an hour minimum wage.

The fast food chain, which globally made a lower than expected profit of £3.2 billion in 2014 has a starting salary of £6.51 an hour for over 21-year-olds.
