They’re striking their way onto the unemployment line, and nobody’s gonna stop ’em!
Do you #FightFor15 people really not understand that raising the minimum wage for FF workers will result in unemployment and a $15 burger?

It’s not complicated: When the minimum wage increases, so does long-term unemployment. But shut it, haters. They have chants and stuff!
A look at the chants marchers will be shouting. #829strike pic.twitter.com/69YwXfZCuM

Don’t mock. The workers are dead serious. Dead. Serious.
Looks like Hamburgler & Ronald agree, workers deserve a living wage! #829strike #strikefor15 pic.twitter.com/65MxP01kkE
