"I AM A WOMAN" Fast food women workers evoking the 1968 Memphis Sanitation worker slogan "I AM A MAN." "Fast food workers are in a similar position to sanitation workers in 1968, said labor and civil rights historian Michael K. Honey, author of a book about the Memphis sanitation strike. "In the case of sanitation workers, 40% of them were actually getting welfare benefits while they were working full-time jobs because they were so poorly paid,” he told MSNBC. Today, the fast food industry provides an annual mean wage of $18,600, lower than any other industry in the United States."" tv.msnbc/2013/04/04/historic-fast-food-strike-draws-lessons-from-mlks-last-campaign/
