A local union in Manhattan, Local 32BJ which currently has over 175,000 members, has collaborated with “The Fight for $15” low wage movement, in an effort to unionize Chipotle and McDonald workers. Local 32BJ hopes to tackle issues of wage theft and dehumanizing working condition in a fast-food industry that is comprised of mainly minority workers. The efforts of Local 32BJ, are a microcosm of a larger campaign to unionize workers in the fast-food industry nationally.
