On Thursday, hundreds of McDonald’s workers staged a walkout in order to protest low wages and sexual harassment complaints. As a result of the walkout, some franchises have had to close temporarily. The strike was staged at this time in order to catch the attention of McDonald’s execs who are meeting with company shareholders in Dallas. Interestingly, the strike has gained the support of three Democrats who are running for presidential office in the 2020 election.
