$15 Minimum Wage Rally Coming to Pasco McDonalds April 15th
A group calling itself Working Washington plans to stage a rally, April 15th at the Pasco McDonalds starting at 9:45am.
This group was heavily involved in the $15 minimum wage push that is now closing restaurants and businesses in Seattle and the City of SeaTac, and now they plan rallies on April 15th in Pasco, Yakima and Spokane.
From their email release:
Pasco
9:45 am: McDonald's
2202 W Court St, Pasco
Food service workers, immigrant workers, and other supporters will rally at this fast food location, then board busses to head to a massive 1000+ rally in Seattle with workers from across the state.
9:45 am: McDonald's
2202 W Court St, Pasco
Food service workers, immigrant workers, and other supporters will rally at this fast food location, then board busses to head to a massive 1000+ rally in Seattle with workers from across the state.
It is interesting to note these workers are being bussed to Seattle. The question being raised is, how many of these people at the rally will actually be workers from here in the Tri-Cities, or if they are "paid" workers from this Seattle-based group?
Working Washington lists a Seattle address, and their website logo looks suspiciously like Gov. Inslee's election campaign website.
They included the following line in their email release:
"...because $15 is just the beginning. Inequality ends with us."
It will be interesting to see what happens at this rally, and how many actually show up. Even more interesting to see how their message will be received.
