There are coordinated #FightFor15 protests in cities across the country today, as fast-food, airport, and other low-wage workers demonstrate to demand a federal $15 minimum wage. The protesters have plenty of support from some high-profile Democrats:

Change always happens when millions of people demand it. When the American people stand up and fight, they win. #Fightfor15

In the richest nation on earth, it’s a disgrace that parents working full time are forced to raise their families in #poverty. #FightFor15

Our current federal minimum wage would earn you less than $15,000 a year — that’s very close to the poverty line. We need to #FightFor15.

I stand with workers calling for a $15/hour minimum wage. No one working full time in the U.S. should have to live in poverty. #fightfor15

Building economic security starts by raising the min wage to $15/hr & making sure every worker has the right to join a union. #fightfor15

Speaking of unions, Fox Business Network correspondent Jeff Flock though he’d head out and talk to some of those protesters who are demanding a living wage so that they can live independently and with dignity. That didn’t go smoothly, though, as it seems the union bosses will decide who carries a sign, who leads chants with a megaphone, and who gets to actually, you know, talk.
