Millions of workers at fast food restaurants and in similar industries endure poverty wages and mistreatment, forced to rely on food stamps in an attempt to feed their families. The federal hourly minimum wage of $7.25 has not been raised since 2009 and in real terms remains at its lowest level in decades. Fast food workers have reacted with growing anger to the conditions they face, as bankers and hedge fund managers add to their colossal fortunes and the stock market sets new records. The union officials seek to latch onto the legitimate grievances and growing outrage among workers, but only in order to ensure that it remains tied to the Democratic Party and does not threaten the rule of big business.
