If you wanted a burger and fries Thursday, you didn't have a lot of luck in Manhattan. That was the day that employees at restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell and others in New York City staged a walk-out in order to demand better wages.
Organizers scheduled the walk out to commemorate on the day Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 45 years ago in Memphis at the Lorianne Hotel.
