Job Wage Protests Coming
Madison and Milwaukee were the sites of minimum-wage protests last week, and now organizers say a much larger event is planned for next Wednesday, April 15th, which will involve low wage workers in cities all across the Badger State. Jennifer Epps-Addison of Wisconsin Jobs Now says the demonstrations will start early and go all day.
Epps-Addison says the day’s events are not a boycott of fast food restaurants and convenience stores that pay low wages, but an action to draw attention to the idea that a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour is not an unreasonable demand.
