Thousands Protest McDonald’s & Amazon Shareholder Meetings

HeadlineMay 24, 2017

And in Chicago, thousands of people marched Tuesday in advance of McDonald’s annual shareholder meeting today, demanding a $15 minimum wage and better working conditions. Despite the rain, fast-food workers, home care aides and other low-wage workers poured into the streets, holding signs reading “McJobs Cost Us All.” Protesters also gathered outside Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting in Seattle Tuesday to demand better conditions and contracts for Amazon workers, as well as that the company stop advertising on the far-right-wing website Breitbart News.
