how do I talk to my managers about being underpaid

I work at a trader joes where I was first hired at $13, had to fight to get $15. And now people are starting at $16. I'm training people who make a dollar more than me. My boyfriend has been working here a year longer than ME and he makes less than I do. The veterans here are also severely underpaid as well. I want to talk to my managers but I don't know where to start. I need some key words/anything that would help fluff my conversation. This is fucking serious and I want to be the change for this company. When chicago made the minimum wage $15, shouldn't those veterans have been compensated/ had a wage change as well since they were fired at probably 8 dollars an hour? Anyway, anything will help, let's change this bullshit together. Thanks!
