In the midst of this victory, CIW will likely make a call to the rest of the fast-food industry this weekend, to demand similar or better payment and labor terms.
CIW can point out that, since the industry leader met thes demands in half the time it took for Taco Bell to concede to the same set of demands, the rest of the fast food industry could well follow suit.
Now is Burger King's turn and the rest should follow. But capital will always dodge and hide and look for the best return on investment. Vigilance and organizing are always neccesary. So many workers remain in poverty without organizations to back them up in disputes with employers.
This victory shows how powerful a coalition of Workers, consumers, and faith communities can be to bring dignity to the workplace.
