Going beyond the Fight for $15 By Camille Connor | January 18, 2021 at 2:47 PM CST - Updated January 18 at 7:05 PM MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Fast-food workers across the U.S. are calling for the minimum wage to be raised to $15 an hour. Friday, fast-food workers across the country made a similar call to action by staging a strike. Congressman Cohen introduces bill to raise minimum wage to $15/hour “These corporations -- they have the money to pay us,” said Ashley Cathey, an employee at Dixie Queen in Memphis. Cathey participated in the strike organized by Fight for $15. “Martin Luther King and other forefathers fought this same fight 50-something years ago, and we have to come back in time and fight this same fight,” said Cathey. “History just repeating itself. We really want to change that. I’m hoping that the campaign helped a lot of people change and wake up to what’s really going on.”
