Protesters calling for a $15 wage rally outside a McDonald's in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Wednesday, April 15, 2015. McDonald's earlier this month said it would raise its starting salary to $1 above the local minimum wage, and give workers the ability to accrue paid time off. It marked the first national pay policy by McDonald's, and indicates the company wants to take control of its image as an employer. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
