Here is a petition for McDonald and other fast foods to pay their workers

decent wages and stop using tax payer's money. Finally they are moving, and moving beyond Walmart with this thing!

The Petition:

The petition reads:

Dear CEO's of McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's,

A whopping 52% of fast-food employees’ families are forced to rely on public assistance to put food on the table or see a doctor because you pay them poverty wages. That means every single American is picking up the check for nearly $7 billion in tax dollars a year – while the fast-food industry reaps billions in profits.

It’s outrageous and it has to stop. It’s time to pay your workers $15 an hour so they can make ends meet and Americans can stop paying for the hidden costs of poverty wages."

Sincerely,
