Low-Wage Workers Strike in Chicago 
-----------------------------------


 
Hundreds of low-wage workers are expected to walk off the job today at
more than a dozen fast food and retail stores in Chicago. The strike is
being coordinated by the group Fight for 15, an effort to raise the
minimum wage to $15 dollars an hour. More than 400 workers took part in
a similar one-day strike in New York City earlier this month.
