In NYC 34 fast food workers were arrested. Protesting fast food workers have insisted that they were willing to do âwhatever it takesâ in order to earn union recognition and a higher wage. The NYC fast-food workers were also joined by over 20 St. Louis area fast-food workers, , including many from Ferguson, who were among the first in the country to join the Fight for $15, and have been on strike as many as six times. Jeanina Jenkins, a McDonaldâs employee in Ferguson, said âIâm willing to do whatever it takes because Iâm barely surviving on the $7.97/hr. I make at McDonaldâs. After everything thatâs happened here in my community during the last month, I know that if I donât stand up and fight for what I believe in, for whatâs right, that nobody else will and nothing will ever change.â ******************************** Building Bridges is regularly broadcast live over WBAI, 99.5 FM in the N.Y.C Metropolitan area on Mondays from 7-8pm EST and is streamed, and archived cast at www.wbai.org Building Bridges National Edition is regularly broadcast over: WDRT, Viroqua, WI KYRS, Spokane, WA Liberty and Justice1640, Shirley Mass KWTF,Sonoma County CA KNSJ, San Diego, CA KRFY, Sandpoint, ID KMUD, Redway, CA WXOJ-LP, Florence, MA KPOV, Bend, Oregon KONR Ankorage, Alaska WAPJ, Torrington, CT.
