The latest, and possibly largest, protest against the global chain comes a day ahead of a shareholders vote on executive pay at McDonald's, where Chief Executive Don Thompson took home total compensation of $9.5 million in 2013.
Rallies by low-wage restaurant and retail workers have helped fuel a national debate on pay inequality at a time when many middle- to low-income Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
Jessica Davis, a 25-year-old McDonald's crew trainer with two children, said Mr Thompson was earning his millions on the backs of working mothers and fathers.
"We need to show McDonald's that we're serious and that we're not backing down," said Mrs Davis, who earns $8.98 (£5.32) per hour at a Chicago McDonald's.
The push to raise fast-food and retail employees' wages has led to protests nationwide since the movement took shape in 2012, with demonstrations from New York to Los Angeles that are organized by groups financially backed by the Service Employees International Union.
