"Fight for $15 " Embraces #MeToo Movement in Striking
McDonald’s
with
Annelise Orleck, Professor of History,
Dartmouth College and author of “WE ARE ALL FAST-FOOD WORKERS NOW: The
Global Uprising Against Poverty
Wages"
Emboldened by the
#MeToo movement, McDonald’s workers staged a one-day strike at restaurants in 10
cities to pressure management to take stronger steps against sexual harassment
in the workplace. Organizers say it was the first multistate strike in the U.S.
specifically targeting sexual harassment. Orleck will analyze the significance
of this development in the context of the #MeToo movement, women’s labor
history, and the growing activism and unionism of low wage women workers in the
U.S. and around the world
