A Hollywood McDonald's was the scene of a fast food worker rally, as they banded together to call awareness to a new study that highlights their low wages. The study was jointly published by UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The study focused on the amount of government aid fast food workers' families use yearly, as rallygoers waved signs and heard from workers who claimed they could no longer subsist on the minimum wage McDonald's provided. We reported from the middle of the rally, and heard some of their stories.
