The union organizers behind the “Fight for $15” movement have now begun targeting rest-stop fast food workers. Highway rest stops are unique in that they are owned and managed by the government.

This Wednesday, numerous fast-food workers at several different franchises will be filling claims of wage theft and announcing their intention to join the Service Employees International Union.
