New York City Fast Food Workers Authorize 3rd Strike 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
At the #Raise The Wage protest in New York City, fast food workers voted
to authorize their third citywide strike for a living wage and the right
to unionize without intimidation. The workers assembled in Brooklyn's
Prospect Park.

Naquasia Le Grand, KFC Employee: "They are not going to give us what we
want. We are gonna stay in poverty we are gonna keep on suffering. I
know you're tired of suffering; I don't want to see the next generation
suffering and suffering. I don't want my kids suffering. I want to make
sure they have a better future then I did. So if I want that happen I
need you guys to stand with me just as long I stand with you guys to
fight for this 15 and union, or better, living wage in New York it's not
right and we have to do something about it."
