McDonald’s is boosting the hourly wages for some of its workers, joining a number of fast-food chains nationwide lifting pay as jobs go unfilled. But employees in Detroit and other cities across the nation say they’re still moving forward with a planned strike on Wednesday, May 19, pointing out that the pay raises will only impact a small portion of McDonald’s-owned restaurants.
The McDonald’s wage announcement this week follows a similar one by Chipotle, and comes just days before the fast-food giant’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday. A workers’ strike is scheduled for the next day.

It was clear that the COVID-19 pandemic had hit Michigan around this time last year, with officials canceling Detroit s longstanding St. Patrick s Day Parade. A year later and the virus remains a threat: Detroit s St. Patrick s Day Parade is once again canceled, but the state has loosened restrictions to allow bars and restaurants to open for indoor dining again. Remember: gathering in a crowd without a mask is still dangerous, but if you re determined to drink a beer and eat a corned beef sandwich, we looked up to see what local bars are doing this year.
Events are on Wednesday, March 17 unless otherwise noted. Did we miss any? Let us know at tips@metrotimes.com and we ll update the list.
