Bus loads of people from DC were brought in to make their numbers look bigger.
They did so to protest and demand that minimum wage be raised to fifteen dollars an hour.
The strikers also want to form a union to support their demands.
Strikers say that raising minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour would allow for workers to be brought above the poverty line.
Restaurant chains state that doing so will only make it more difficult for them to hire.
Opponents of an increase and economists point out that if minimum wage was raised, prices would have to go up to match, meaning it would actually back fire.
