McDonald’s worker arrested after telling company president she can’t afford shoes.
"A woman who has been employed by the McDonald’s Corporation for over 10 years says she was arrested last week after she confronted the company president at a meeting and told him she couldn’t afford to buy shoes or food for her children.
Nancy Salgado, 26, told The Real News that she felt like she had to speak out during McDonald’s USA President Jeff Stratton’s speech at the Union League Club of Chicago on Friday for the sake of her children.
“It’s really hard for me to feed my two kids and struggle day to day,” she shouted as Stratton was speaking. “Do you think this is fair, that I have to be making $8.25 when I’ve worked for McDonald’s for ten years?”
“I’ve been there for forty years,” Stratton replied from the podium.
“The thing is that I need a raise. But you’re not helping your employees. How is this possible?” Salgado asked.
At that point, someone approached Salgado and informed her that she was going to be arrested.
She later recalled the encounter to The Real News’ Jessica Desvarieux.
“The strength was very powerful, like, just remembering the face of my kids, like I say, you know, just simple things like I can’t provide a pair of shoes like everybody else does, sometimes every month, or anything like that,” she said. “And he needs to know we are what all the employees at McDonald’s are going through. We’re struggling day to day to provide our needs in our houses, things for our kids. And it’s just–it gets harder and harder with just the poverty wage they have us living in.”
“They just told me, you know, well, you’re being under arrest because you just interrupted, you trespassed the property. You’re just going to go to jail,” Salgado added. “And what I remember just telling them, ‘well, like, so, because I have to speak out my mind and I had to tell the president the poverty wage I’m living in, that’s just against the law?’ You know, just be able to speak up your mind and say, you know what, I can’t survive with $8.25? It’s just — it’s ridiculous that I’m going to get arrested. You know.”
Salgado, who is still working at McDonald’s, said she had her hours cut following the arrest and feared further retaliation.
“The CEOs make millions and billions a year and why can’t they provide enough for their employees?” she wondered.”
I think that this is beyond awful for many reasons. People can’t afford to live off of the wages that they are given currently, and can’t even speak out against it. I know tumblr is great for spreading important news like this, so please help me get the word out to support this woman.
Internet, time to do our thing and make this go viral!

TALK TO ME ABOUT PETERICK
noacejustyou-archive-deactivate answered:
I WILL TALK YOUR EAR OFF ABOUT PETERICK AND THIS MAY OR MAY NOT GET WEIRD OK READY HERE WE FUCKIN GO
- remember that time pete wrote a song about patrick through patrick’s eyes about how patrick never thought he was good enough oh do you hear that it’s the sound of my heart shattering
- they were best men at each other’s weddings and have said multiple times that if they could be in a non-sexual marriage with a guy it would be each other
- pete is patrick’s own personal cheerleader and patrick is the first person to defend pete whenever people talk shit and they will literally defend each other to the death and they’ve both said they’d take a bullet for each other
- their manager bob literally told both of them separately that they were the “luckiest guy in the world” because they found the other one
- pete gave patrick his first hat as in the whole patrick-is-never-seen-without-a-hat was started by pete because patrick was sHY DON’T EVEN LOOK AT ME
- remember when pete STOOD ON HIS FUCKIN CHAIR TO APPLAUD PATRICK when he came out to perform with lupe fiasco ‘cause he did (i’ not crying) (you’re crying)
- sometimes pete looks at patrick like he’s the only thing good in the world
like that
and that
- and that
- and it makes me want to lie on the ground so i don’t pass out
- then there’s the stage gay which has been explained in a variety of different ways in fanfic but it’s really something special
it’s just so intimate???
ass slap
does it hurt yet- but you know shipping and fantasy aside they are literally the BEST OF FRIENDS and they make each other so happy and they make each other laugh and their relationship is indestructible and i just want someone to look at me like pete looks at patrick and they’re legit in love i can’t i can’t i’m gonna stop talking now i can’t breathe
let’s throw some quotes in here
- “Me and Patrick can finish each others sentences. This is what makes it so funny when people ask us if we care that you think the the other one is hotter or cooler, or how much everyone makes a big deal about who writes what or is where in photos. We don’t care. That kid is my best friend and the rest of the world could blow up and Fall Out Boy can break up and he still will be there.”
- We’ve gotten into shouting matches before, for sure. One thing that Pete and I won’t tolerate in each other—this is something that we have argued about a lot and gotten really angry with each other about—is that self doubt, is that kind of, “You don’t understand what you’ve made here, this is really great” and I’ll find Pete sometimes saying “Ahh these lyrics suck” and it pisses me off because it’s so good and he’s just missing it.
- And then I’ll hear things from people where it’s like, “Oh your band’s great but I hate your bass player” and I’m like, then you just said you hate our band cause I don’t fucking care. He’s my best friend. Obviously he’s still in the band for a reason, it’s not like I’m waiting for someone to go “Oh yeah, you know, Pete sucks” and I’ll go like “Yes! Thank you, now he’s totally fired!” No, he’s my best friend and he’s absolutely important. He’s invaluable. I wouldn’t be here without him. I’ll hear things like, “Your voice is great but Pete’s really lame” and it’s like, well, Pete’s the only guy who got me to sing. I wasn’t a singer until Pete saw it in me. So I don’t particularly see value in me being a singer but he does and he’s always my cheerleader, trying to keep me going. So I am the musician I am pretty much because of Pete. And I’m not even saying I’m that great a musician. I’m saying if there’s anyone that thinks I am, all the thanks goes to Pete. So that’s one thing that bothers me a lot and I don’t think people really understand fully.
and here’s a picture of them that looks like they just finished having angry sex

It would be so AWKWARD if these two had a romance. And so entertaining. I already cried of laughter because of the “passionate and fascinating” letters they wrote.
