Low-wage workers across the country are taking dramatic action to improve their wages and working conditions. In New York and Chicago, fast-food and other service-sector workers went on strike demanding a minimum of $15 an hour and the right to form a union free from the threat of employer retaliation. Emboldened by such militant steps, Milwaukee workers have voted to create a new union of their own.
Stand with the workers, May 15, as they kick off their campaign to Raise Up Milwaukee.

Walker take affordable health care coverage away from Wisconsin families!
