SHADYSIDE (KDKA) – Protesters blocked streets and chanted in Shadyside on Saturday so administrators at the Ellis School could hear their message.
The protesters blocked traffic on Fifth Avenue for several minutes outside the Ellis School while police stood by on guard.
They’re speaking out on behalf of a new cleaning crew that makes just 50 cents above minimum wage.
Alyce Toombs was one of several cleaning crew members that were let go this summer.
