Bernie Sanders to McDonald's: Raise your minimum wage to $15

[Uncle Joe]

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday called for McDonald's to follow the lead of Amazon and Disney, and pay their restaurant workers at least $15 per hour.

"If Amazon and Disney can pay $15 an hour, so can McDonald's, which made $5.1 billion in profits last year," Sanders said on Twitter.

The tweet also was accompanied by a letter to Steve Easterbrook, the fast food chain's president and CEO, asking him to respect the constitutional rights of his workers to unionize.

"In the year 2018, no one in America, especially those working for a profitable corporation like McDonald's, should be living in poverty," he wrote in the letter.
