The Fight for $15 is zeroing in on Oak Brook-based McDonald’s as “a symbol of what’s wrong with our economy,” the campaign said in its press materials. Many of the protest’s business targets are connected to the fast-food giant.

Among them are Elite Staffing at 1400 W. Hubbard St., where protesters are scheduled to stand in solidarity with warehouse workers who make McDonald’s McCafe cups. The warehouse workers are employed by Elite, which supplies the workers to food packing company Pactiv in Bedford Park, according to the union.

Elite did not respond to a request for comment.
