No one should experience sexual harassment at work.

Today, McDonalds workers are making their voices heard by demanding an end to the rampant sexual harassment in their restaurants.

We also hear that if we raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour, the American taxpayers will be forced to pay more as a result of inflation, but what if I were to tell you that we…
