Fight For $15
00:02:22

|
| What brings me out here is, well, really long standing support in my own denomination for | |
| workers and for workers' rights. | |
| Today we're out here to fight for workers' rights, particularly in the restaurant industry, to have a livable wage. | |
| My name is Sophia Portier and I'm out here with United Students Against Sweat Shops and we're supporting Fight for $15. | |
| Fight for $15 is a campaign that fast food workers are running across the country trying to attain $15 an hour for the work that they do. | |
| This is an extension of Dr. King's work, 50 years ago, that was a march on Washington for freedom and for jobs. | |
| I've been a fast food worker myself, and so there's no reason why people who do those types of jobs can't get a living wage. | |
| They deserve to be paid the wage that their work is worth, and their work is worth a lot more than they're being paid now. | |
| $15 an hour to work at fast food, that's a little high. | |
| What would you say to those people? | |
| I would say that they should work as a fast food worker for a little while and see what it's like to do that type of job. | |
| You know, the way the rhetoric always runs on these things is if we're going to give them a pay raise, $15 an hour, then we're going to have to cut back on the number of workers we have. | |
| Nobody talks about cutting the profit margin. | |
| That $15, when it goes into the pockets of the normal people, is going to go back into the market economy. | |
| So it actually does better for the economy than not paying them. | |
| When you don't pay them, They have a much harder time living. | |
| They have to then rely on all of the public programs that we have. | |
| For the union makes us strong, Solidarity forever strong. | |
| Does it concern you at all with the current health care system, the Obamacare, | |
| where employers are actually cutting their workers hours, so the workers can't qualify for health care? | |
| Does that concern you? | |
| Right, that's another big problem. | |
| Not everyone has access to medical care, to healthcare. | |
| The kinds of actions that you're talking about where people are cutting hours so that someone falls just underneath the healthcare threshold, that's the action of corporate autocracy. | |

Wake Up Your Friends Politically

|
| That's the action of a corporate system that really does not care for the people that it That it employs, really does not care for anything other than their own bottom line. | |
| And if that means they have to subject people to inhumane treatment in order to get that | |
| bottom line, that's what they'll do. | |
| Skaters have always been against the grain socially. | |
| Now wake up your friends politically. | |
| Just go to InfoWarsStore.com. | |
| We have Divide and Conquer or Brainwashing. | |
| Then take your deck to your local skate shop, pick out your own trucks, your own wheels, and then hit the streets and wake some people up. | |
| Here is legendary skateboarder Jake Nunn. | |
| This one has a lot more concave than I have on my board. | |
| And I like concave. | |
| It makes it easier to turn and feel the board. | |
| It's pretty cool. | |
| I mean, it's almost the same shape as mine. | |
| It's not really a sport, and it's not really art. | |
| It's just kind of freedom, you know? | |
| I've listened to Alex Jones for a long time, and I love what InfoWars does. | |
| I've always loved Alien Workshop, too. | |
| I think it's kind of cool you guys got together. | |
