Fighting for $15 in Richmond

Last weekend, workers gathered at the first Fight for $15 national convention. Home care workers, fast-food cooks, child care workers, airport baggage handlers, university staff, call center workers, and many more marched on Richmond, Va., to show their bosses, corporate America and politicians that they won't be ignored anymore. It's time for $15 an hour and union rights.

Check out more photos and videos of the convention here.
