FAST-FOOD workers in Britain will be raising their voices in solidarity with thousands of workers in the US on Sunday as they prepare to strike for black lives.
A coalition of labour and black advocacy groups in the US are launching actions across 25 cities on Monday against corporations such as McDonalds, Amazon, Uber and Lyft in order to demand proper wages and the right to join a union.
The strikers are targeting industries in which black workers are disproportionately represented, including fast food, airports, gig-economy workers, nursing and social care.
