Corporations As People, People As Things
- 5 years ago
Over 100 protesters demanding higher wages and improved working conditions were arrested Wednesday outside a McDonald's corporate office in Oak Brook, Illinois, where thousands assembled to rally against the corporate chain's labor practices.
An estimated 2,000 marched outside the building in suburban Chicago demanding the right to form a union without retaliation and a wage increase to $15 an hour. McDonald's employees, other food service employees, local church leaders, and union officials were on hand to join in the chants of "Hey McDonald's You Can't Hide, We Can See Your Greedy Side" and "No Big Macs, No Fries, Make our Wage Supersize."
