US  –    Thousands took to the streets of downtown Chicago on Tuesday calling McDonald’s the “Donald Trump of corporations” and protesting low wages and sexual harassment at the world’s largest fast food chain a day before the company’s annual shareholder meeting.

The protest, coordinated by pressure groups including Fight for $15, a union-backed lobby group calling for a hike in US minimum wage, plan a second day of protests at McDonald’s annual shareholder meeting in Chicago on Wednesday morning. The marchers, many of them in red ponchos in the driving rain, marched between Trump Tower and the Rock’n’Roll McDonald’s, the company’s flagship restaurant in its hometown.

“McDonald’s just like Donald Trump steals wages from its workers. McDonald’s just like Donald Trump avoids paying taxes. McDonald’s just like Donald Trump supports low wages. McDonald’s just like Donald Trump harasses women,” Fight For $15 national campaign organizer Kendall Fells said.(The guardian)[+]
