Arrested protesting fast food wages; pays her entry level employees nothing

Representative Gwen Moore from Wisconsin’s fourth district got arrested today while participating in civil disobedience over the wages paid to fast food workers.

The protesters were demanding a wage of $15 per hour for what most probably consider to be an entry level job. However, Moore doesn’t even pay her own entry level employees at that rate.

She doesn’t pay them at all.

This looks like a much more demanding job than serving hamburgers.
