With McDonald's workers in two stores set to stage their first ever official strike in UK history, we interview striker and BFAWU activist Steve about the campaign, and discuss the issues it raises. We look back on the "McDonald's Workers' Resistance" network, whose archives are online at https://libcom.org/tags/mcdonalds-workers-resistance, and discuss Unite New Zealand's "Supersize My Pay" campaign (watch a documentary about it here: https://vimeo.com/54901659), and the ongoing "Fight for $15" movement in the USA (the movement involves a galaxy of different campaign groups, unions, and political organisations, but you can get a sense of some of its activity from this site: http://fightfor15.org). The newly tenured Professor Edmund Mustill takes us back in time, to tell the story of the 1912 New York waiters' strike, which you can read up on here: http://hotelworkers.org/about/history/the-story-of-the-first-contract?p=3 We also shout out our fellow labour movement podcast Smash Up Derby, so go check 'em out at http://smashuppodcast.com.
