Fast food workers continue push for higher wages

Tens of thousands of low-wage workers will walk off the job in 320 cities nationwide. They're rallying for pay of $15 an hour and a union.

Similar protests will take place in 40 different countries spanning six continents worldwide.

Rallies are also happening locally...  earlier today, employees were demonstrating at a McDonald's in the southern California region of Southgate. 

For more on the California labor protests, KPCC's Ben Bergman joined the show.
