I work for McDonalds
and I'm here in solidarity with
my brothers and sisters on strike,
because we need a liveable wage.
McDonalds won't give us a liveable wage.
They don't respect us.
I'm here to fight and support.
The same happens all over the world.
We've got to stand because,
if you don't stand for something,
you'll sit down for anything.
I'm striking for an end to
zero hour contracts and
for a higher minimum wage.
We're asking for £10 an hour.
Has it been dificult to organise?
The McStrike started last year,
Initially it was dificult to get workers on board,
they'd never really seen anything like it.
Lot's of them accepted that's the way it is.
That the boss calls and you have to come,
that they can treat us like that.
But people are gaining more confidence now.
The turnout today has been amazing.
Has today been sucessful?
Absolutely, TGI Fridays and Wetherspoons workers
are going through the same thing,
It's encouraging to be together.
I believe
that we,
will win!

I'm one of the TGI Fridays strikers
my story is based in Milton Keynes.
Our dispute started eariler this year
When the company told us that in two days
they were giving 40% of our tips to the kitchen.
The kitchen had asked for a pay rise,
the solution was to take from one low paid worker
to give to another.
That's just the catalyst.
We're on minimum wage.
They pay youth rates,
so somebody doing the exact same work,
who's under 21, is paid £5.90 an hour.
That is not enough to live!
I know people who are living on friends' sofas.
because they can't afford the rent.
Some people have to choose between
sometimes skipping food to stay in their house.
The money is enough to sort of survive
but not enough to live off.
Low pay, no way!
What do we want?
Pay rights!
