On April 3, fast food workers from across NC will travel to Durham to take a stand and demand that corporations in the multi-billion dollar fast food industry pay workers for every minute they work and give them every penny they earn.
Workers in North Carolina, across the South, and across the nation are uniting to say, "Enough is enough! Stop stealing our wages!"
