SEIU Leaders Congratulate Council Member Glidden on Bush Fellowship, Call on City Council to Address Racial Inequities

While thousands of fast-food workers across the country went on strike today, community members in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Cambridge gathered to protest poverty wages and show support for the striking workers nationwide. Nationally, fast food workers in more than 100 cities went on strike, with additional protests in more than 100 cities. In Minnesota this came on the heels of a week of action which saw strikes, rallies and protests during the week leading up to Black Friday where workers and allies called on corporations and state legislators to raise pay for workers and end poverty wages in Minnesota.
