The "Fight for $15" is a movement advocating for a $15 minimum wage in the United States. It began in 2012 when fast-food workers in New York City organized strikes to demand higher pay and better working conditions. The campaign has since gained national attention, with workers from various industries joining the cause. Supporters argue that raising the minimum wage would help lift many workers out of poverty and stimulate the economy. Opponents, however, express concerns that such an increase could lead to job losses and higher prices for consumers. The movement continues to influence discussions on wage policies across the country.
