VIDEO: Fast-food workers, activists demand higher wages at local protest

Posted By on Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 1:12 PM

On Thursday, fast-food workers and activists gathered on street corners and in restaurants in over 100 cities across the U.S., asking for a higher minimum wage - a "livable wage." Raising the minimum wage, they said and many studies have shown, would reduce the burden on the safety net and increase worker productivity.

CL videographer Kendrea Mekkah attended Thursday's protest.
