Higher wages cost the Corporates,,,unemployed,can be exploited,free of cost.
Media owned and operated by,and for Capitalists,are rarely going to support workers against their fellow Corporates.

There is no strike - it hasn't happened yet.
They are ASKING for one.
Will it happen? We'll see.
But don't blame the press for not advertising what hasn't happened yet.
That's just silly.

Corporate media backs status quo! So use independent.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/04/16/wage-gains-... fast-food workers first took the streets in New York City in November 2012 to protest for higher wages and a union no one could have imagined how successful the campaign would be. Since then the low-wage workers movement, known as Fight for 15, has helped spur eleven states and numerous cities to raise the minimum hourly wage. It’s enabled campaigns in Seattle and the Bay Area to pass citywide measures for $15-an-hour minimum wage. Fight for 15 and a separate campaign called Organization United for Respect at Walmart has also pushed companies like McDonald’s, Target, and Walmart to announce in early 2015 that they would raise the minimum wage for hundreds of thousands of employees."
