Labor organizers have a message for McDonald’s Corp.: Nice try, but the protests will continue.
The Fight for $15 campaign, which began calling for fast-food chains to raise wages and allow workers to unionize in 2012, wasn’t mollified by McDonald’s announcement Wednesday that it would boost pay. In addition to protests scheduled for April 15, the group plans to gather outside McDonald’s restaurants on Thursday to criticize the company for not going far enough.
