You have a Job
do not get Greedy


[Fast-food industry staged a one-day strike
in dozens of cities on Thursday,
calling for better wages and the right to unionise.
The strike was the largest so far in a
10-month campaign that began with
200 workers striking in New York last November,
and which spread to Detroit and Chicago in July.
Organisers said the strikes, scheduled a day after
the 50th anniversary of the March on
Washington and a few days before Labor Day,
were being held in 60 cities and
had spread to the south – including Tampa
and Raleigh – and the west, with workers in Los Angeles
& San Francisco taking part.]
