"Fight for $15" minimum wage protesters interrupted a speech by McDonald's USA President Jeff Stratton for several minutes on Friday, leading protestors to be escorted out of the event and threatened with arrest. Several female protestors interrupted Stratton soon after the speech began, asking how they could feed their children on their McDonald's salaries. "I've been at McDonald's for 10 years," yelled Nancy Salgado, 26, who works at a McDonald's in Logan square. Stratton began his career at McDonald's as a teenager behind the counter in a Detroit restaurant 40 years ago, making $1.60 an hour.
