With Day of Protests, Fast-Food Workers Seek More Pay

no really, I work 35 hours a week + school full time...and make butt. I'm not lazy, I work on my feet all day. I would say, as a whole the unnamed company i work for (sometimes I think it's more like a Victorian mill), the employees I mean, are working harder than ever....because we just had the Best. First Half. Ever.Period. Yet, as workers we have seen little to no benefits to our situation. We haven't seen anything to help us; hell they won't even buy a stall door for our bathroom! There's cardboard taped over the door! and if anything, they just changed it so the top you will EVER make after raises is just over $10.00/hr (and they wonder why they have a high turnover rate).

I feel like a lot of other Americans feel the same way, These places pay them very little for their effort, rake in the cash and tell their workers they need work harder for less because they company needs them to. and frankly, that frustrates them quite a bit when they need to make a decision over what to eat or paying rent.
