	Description:		McDonald's workers have been striking at different outlets around the country in a bid to get the fastfood giant to commit to introducing the living wage. Staff have walked off the job at McDonald's in Hastings, Auckand, Whanganui, Wellington and Dunedin, with more strikes planned for later this week. The workers union, Unite, said the fast food chain's pay offer of 2.1% is not enough to keep pace with rising costs and the company making $105 million in New Zealand in the last declared financial records. Whanganui McDonald's worker, Rangi Tangira spoke to Lisa Owen.
