McDonald's is holding its annual shareholder meeting today in Oak Brook, Illinois, outside Chicago. But it's the action that's been happening outside that's been getting all the attention.

More than 100 protesters were arrested yesterday after refusing to leave McDonald's property. They were demonstrating for higher wages for McDonald's employees.

Demonstrators were asking McDonald's to raise their pay to $15 an hour. The company's CEO Don Thompson responded today - saying, "We are people. We do have values at McDonald's."
