Show-Me $15: "Die in" Action
Thursday, Aug. 11
3 p.m.
McDonald's - 1119 Tucker Blvd.
St. Louis

From Stanley Jackson, Community Coordinator with Show Me $15:

Over the past 2-4 years workers have experienced a string of violence in the workplace. Over 9 different McDonald locations have experienced robberies, shootings, and sadly even workers being killed. Fast food workers are fed up, and have decided to stand up, and demand that they have a safe workplace. They need security guards, bulletproof glass, and safety policies in place. Workers will continue to fight until ALL demands are met.
