Fast-Food Worker Strikes Spread to Detroit, St. Louis 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of fast-food workers in Detroit are walking off the job today
to demand a $15-an-hour wage and the right to unionize without
intimidation as such demands continue to spread to fast-food joints
across the country. Employees from at least 60 stores, including Mc
Donald’s, Wendy’s and Subway, are expected to take part in the
action. Detroit is the fourth city to see such a strike over the past
five weeks after workers in St. Louis walked off the job earlier this
week, following similar actions in Chicago and New York.
