Fast food workers
the world over
want a little extra cheese.
On the 15th of May
expect to see employees
from thirty-two countries
on five continents
hold solidarity protests
at McDonald's
Burger King and KFC franchises.
Given these corporations'
other recent efforts
to modernize their facades
for a pretentiously concerned
generation of aloof Millennials
who seem to like companies
that "care" and whatnot
maybe they thought
that sustainable living wages
were just too trendy.
