LIU STATEMENT ON NYC FAST-FOOD WORKERS

   City Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following on New York City fast-food workers’ efforts to organize:

    “Too many New York City fast-food workers don’t earn enough to put food on their own tables, and they have every right to organize and demand decent wages. It’s a shame that many fast-food workers have to rely on public assistance when the corporations they work for are among the wealthiest in the nation and their CEOs earn millions. Jobs that don’t pay a fair wage contribute to the City’s widening income gap, which hurts the economy as a whole. This is a fight that matters to us all.”
