Fast food strike spreads to Seattle!

Now there's a sixth city in the nationwide wave of labor strikes by fast food restaurant employees: Seattle!

The state of Washington reportedly has the highest state minimum wage in America, and it's still inadequate for most folks to make ends meet. It's a whopping $9.19/hour. Wow. Hopefully these strikes will encourage better wages, expanded unionization, and safer work conditions.
