Abstract
Social inequality has been directly tied to the decline of labor unions In an effort to reverse the trend recent attempts have been made to unionize fastfood workers one of the largest segments in the country and at the sametime raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour The article examines the tactics employed to do so including framing resource mobilization and the use of social media Although the movement has met with success in raising the minimum wage the actual unionization of workers remains elusive
