OAK PARK, IL (RNN) - More than 100 people were arrested for trespassing at a rally outside McDonald's headquarters Wednesday, according to WLS. The protest, which drew more than 1,000 people, was a continuation of demonstrations earlier this week for better wages.

Employees of fast food restaurants, and groups supporting them, have held multiple protests in recent months in an effort to raise their wage to $15 an hour. The job usually pays minimum wage ($7.25) or slightly above it.

"Nothing more inspiring than seeing workers stand together to fight for better future for their fams," tweeted Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union.

They also seek the right to unionize without fear of retaliation.

Kendal Fells of the activist group Fast Food Forward told USA Today it would be "the largest labor protest that McDonald's has ever faced."
