The workers these years get paid the lowest wage (工资). This was set at $7.25 in 2009 and has not changed since then. Many workers say they cannot afford to live on that. The price of everything has gone up but their wages have stayed the same for five years. The workers want $15 an hour, which is double their wage. Julio Wilson, a cashier at a pizza restaurant, told the BBC he earns $9 an hour. He said that wasn抰 enough to support himself and his five-year-old daughter. He said: 揑 know I may lose my job by doing so, but it抯 my right to fight for what I deserve (应得的).” ?? McDonalds and Burger King both spoke about the strike.
