The special Chasing the
Dream: Poverty in America
broadcast examines how the
fight for the minimum wage is
playing out in four Northern
California cities -- San Francis-
co, Oakland, Berkeley and Em-
eryville -- where pay increases
have been in place for at least
two years, pre-dating 2016
state-wide mandated minimum
wage increases.
The “Fight for Fifteen,”
as it is called, began in New
York City in 2012 when over
100 hundred fast food workers
walked off their jobs, going out
on strike, for a $15 hourly wage
and union rights. Since then,
the “Fight for Fifteen” has be-
come a national initiative.
