Fast Food Workers' Wage Hike

Fast food workers rally for wage increase to 15 dollars an hour June 15 at NYU before a Fast Food Wage Board Hearing.

The Fast Food Wage Board appointed by Governor Cuomo approved raising workers' minimum hourly wage to $15/hour, a 70% increase.

Tsedeye Gebreselassie, senior staff attorney with the National Employment Law Project, and fast food worker Jason Rice explain what the higher pay will mean for the city and beyond.

Then Randy Mastro, partner in the New York office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, representing the Save NY Restaurants Coalition in its planned lawsuit against the Fast Food Wage Board decision, as well as former deputy mayor of NYC, responds on behalf of the fast food franchise owners to the wage hike decision.
