McDonald's Workers Striking - Detroit, Mi

Workers have been striking since around 10:00am in front of one of Detroit's busiest McDonalds located just south of Forest Ave. on Woodward. The rally is one of many state-wide strikes, the most memorable occurring earlier this spring in Flint, Mi and also in Detroit on W.Grand Blvd. Unsatisfied employees claim they are underpaid and are seeking a heaping pay raise from $7.4/hr to $15/hr.

Their chant follows :

"What do we want?"

"15!"

"When do we want it?"

"Now!"

The city of Detroit is currently in a financial crisis. With the installment of the government appointed "Emergency Manager" city council will supposedly be reconciled and the economy may began to improve. As of now the city and its administration sit under the extreme microscope of its citizens who ridicule them for mis-managing the cities finances. For now the Detroit economy seems all but crumbling, and McDonald's workers want their raise.
