食品伙伴網訊  據外媒報道，美國勞工節(jié)來臨之際，美國有超過60個城市的快餐店員工舉行罷工要求加薪。

    美國快餐店員工在麥當勞（McDonald's）和漢堡王（Burger Kings）門前，以及美國60個城市的其他快餐店前舉行罷工要求加薪資，這是他們在長達近一年之久的最新一輪抗議活動。

    罷工在全國各地迅速蔓延，據罷工主辦方表示，在紐約、芝加哥、底特律、密爾沃基、圣路易斯、羅利和西雅圖的多個餐廳已經關閉。他們要求每小時工資從7.25美元升至15美元，7.25美元是目前聯邦的最低工資。

    部分原文報道如下：

    Rallies were held in cities from New York to Oakland and stretched into the South, historically difficult territory for organized labor.

    The striking workers say they want to unionize without retaliation in order to collectively bargain for a "living wage."

    They are demanding $15 an hour, more than twice the federal minimum of $7.25. The median wage for front-line fast-food workers is $8.94 per hour, according to an analysis of government data by the National Employment Law Project （NELP）， an advocacy group for lower-wage workers.

    "It's almost impossible to get by （alone），" said McDonald's worker Rita Jennings, 37, who was among about 100 protesters who marched in downtown Detroit Thursday. "You have to live with somebody to make it."
