"US workers in the fast-food industry staged a one-day strike in dozens of cities on Thursday, calling for better wages and the right to unionise. The strike was the largest so far in a 10-month campaign that began with 200 workers striking in New York last November, and which spread to Detroit and Chicago in July. Organisers said the strikes, scheduled a day after the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and a few days before Labor Day, were being held in 60 cities and had spread to the south – including Tampa and Raleigh – and the west, with workers in Los Angeles and San Francisco taking part."
