New York Times:

Even though fast-food workers have staged several one-day strikes in the last 18 months, the protests have not swayed McDonald’s or other major restaurant chains to significantly raise their employees’ pay.

So on Thursday, the fast-food workers’ movement wants to broaden its reach as it pushes for a $15-an-hour wage that restaurant companies say is unrealistic. In addition to one-day strikes in 150 cities across the country, the movement’s leaders hope to take their cause global. They say support protests will take place in 80 cities in more than 30 countries, from Dublin to Venice to Casablanca to Seoul to Panama City.

Here in Washington State, protests are set for Spokane, Bellingham, Tacoma, the Tri-Cities, Vancouver, and Seattle (where last night, workers walked out of the First Hill McDonald's). Check out the Twitter feed of Working Washington for more images like this:
