CBS News reports today dozens of people protesting for a hike in the minimum wage were arrested at a McDonald’s in Detroit.

The protesters, part of the “Fight for $15” campaign organized by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and others, engaged in civil disobedience by blocking traffic. They were encouraged by Obama, who is, according to The Washington Post, “in Fight for $15′s corner.”

“All across the country right now there’s a national movement going on made up of fast-food workers organizing to lift wages so they can provide for their families with pride and dignity,” the president said on Labor Day. Obama said if he “wanted an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work, I’d join a union.”

SEIU and other labor unions make up a large percentage of Obama’s political base and have weigh heavily on gubernatorial contests in Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maine and Michigan.

The Fight for $15 movement began in Chicago and is targeting fast food restaurants in over 100 cities across the country.
