Sep 4 @ 1:30 pm – 6:00 pm
 Fighting for $15/hour and a union: when we stick together we are heard. Join us this Thursday in Oakland!

We’re united for a $15/hour wage floor and the right to form a union without retaliation. Raising pay will lift up our families and our community. Also a rally at 11 am at Oscar Grant Plaza More on facebook: East Bay Fast Food Workers & Twitter: @fairfastfood 56561
