On Tuesday, fast-food workers in 15 different cities across the U.S. went on strike to demand $15 an hour wages from McDonald s, Burger King and Wendy s. In the midst of a pandemic and ensuing unemployment crisis, Democrats are poised to meet that demand and increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour a move that would boost incomes for 32 million workers across the country, many of whom work in jobs deemed essential and front-line during the pandemic but a couple of Democratic senators look to be standing in the way.
