OAK BROOK, Ill.-- McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook told shareholders on Thursday that he was “incredibly proud” of the company's recent efforts to increase its workers pay as thousands of protesters calling for a $15 an hour minimum wage gathered outside the fast food company's headquarters.
The demonstrators - chanting for McDonald's to “supersize my check” - came to Oak Brook this week to call McDonald's out for insufficient pay, drawing negative attention to the fast food giant two weeks after Easterbrook's announced turnaround plan failed to impress investors. The annual shareholders meeting marked Easterbrook's first as the company's CEO.
