Cenk Uygur interviews Harold Miller, an organizer with New York Communities for Change, to learn more about day one of fast-food worker strikes in New York City. More than 200 workers protested the low wages paid by major fast food corporations like McDonald’s and Wendy’s. Miller says, “We are calling for $15 an hour. You have Costco workers making $17 an hour, so these corporations can afford it, and the people … working are not kids. These are adults that have to take care of families.”
