HRC and Fast-Food Workers

Clinton Expressed Solidarity With Fast-Food Workers Striving For A Living Wage. “‘We’re here because there’s a movement stirring in America,’ Clinton said, discussing paid sick leave, equal pay, affordable childcare and a living wage for fast-food workers. ‘This is a movement that is not waiting for Washington with its gridlock and grandstanding. This movement won’t wait, and neither will we.’” [Politico, 9/19/14] Secretary Clinton: “There Is A Movement Stirring In America….You Can See It In The Fast Food And Domestic Workers All Across Our Country Who Ask For Nothing More Than A Living Wage And A Fair Shot.” “We are here because there is a movement stirring in America. You can see it in the parents in California who demanded paid sick leave so they did not have to choose between their jobs and their kids. You can see it in the moms demanding equal pay for equal work and the dads demanding access to quality, affordable childcare. You can see it in the fast food and domestic workers all across our country who ask for nothing more than a living wage and a fair shot. This is a movement that is not waiting for Washington with its gridlock and grandstanding. This movement won’t wait, and neither can we.” [Women’s Leadership Forum, C-SPAN, 9/19/14]
