Protests of fast food workers were held throughout the US and globally on April 15, 2015. Mary Kay Henry, president of the SEIU, was interviewed and spoke in San Francisco at the McDonald’s at 24th Street and Mission during the protest. She called on presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and other candidates to support the $15 an hour campaign.
