CHICAGO (CBS) — Minimum wage workers in Chicago were joining others across the country for a one-day strike for what they say would be a living wage.

WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports a couple hundred fast food and retail workers chanted “we can’t survive on $8.25” as they rallied outside and inside the Rock N Roll McDonald’s in the River North neighborhood.

The workers said they’re fighting for a raise to at least $15 an hour.
