Fast-food workers in 150 U.S. cities plan to protest this week in what could be the largest strike since the demonstrations began in late 2012.

Thousands of workers from restaurant chains including McDonald’s Corp. and Yum! Brands Inc.’s Pizza Hut are planning to rally on Sept. 4 for $15-an-hour pay and the right to form a union. They will strike in cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh and Oakland, California, union organizers said.
