A special Upworthy series about work and the economy, made possible by the AFL-CIO. Read more, then check out more in Workonomics.

Workers at McDonald's not only went on strike in several cities around the world — they got arrested at McD's headquarters during an annual shareholders meeting. Shareholders left after they called police. 139 picketers were arrested. The words chanted at the end of the clip? "I believe that we will win."

So do I, good people, so do I.



This video was made by one of the leaders in this movement, Low Pay Is Not OK. Go check them out if you'd like to see more. Their website is here.
