Sexual harassment happens every day at fast food restaurants, but fast food corporations like Yum Yum Donuts turn the other way. Working people like Silvia are standing together to demand an end to sexual harassment in the fast food industry! Corporations must adopt a zero tolerance policy.

Don't forget: Starbucks is boycotted. The company has received hundreds of NLRB rulings against it and still has 550 cases pending. Corporate is refusing to finalize a fair contract. Meanwhile, their CEO makes $14,900/hr. Baristas are asking for $17. No contract? No coffee.
