Minimum wage protests

Minimum wage protests occur when workers or advocacy groups demand higher minimum wages from employers or governments, arguing that current wages are insufficient for basic living needs. These protests aim to raise awareness of economic disparities, improve working conditions, and achieve a fairer income distribution. Participants often organize marches, rallies, or strikes to press for policy changes, emphasizing that increased wages can boost consumer spending and reduce poverty. Such protests reflect broader debates about economic justice, living standards, and the role of government in ensuring fair pay for all workers.
