(Hat-tip thingy to Tom P). No surprise here – McDonalds is taking part in a rear guard action in the States against a new “union friendly” law regarding recognition agreements called the “Employee Free Choice Act”. The SIEU are running a compaign to try and see them off.McDonald's isn't lovin' free choice for its employees. The fast food giant is reportedly organizing its restaurant owners to oppose the Employee Free Choice Act. McDonald's has reportedly even formed an "internal response team...to actively participate in the opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act."
McDonald's has more than 600,000 employees in the US, many of whom earn less than $10/hour. But last year its CEO took home more than $13 million.
Now McDonald's leadership is actively organizing to prevent its employees from standing up for themselves at work.
Write to McDonalds and say employees need the Employee Free Choice Act - we'll send your letters to McDonald's headquarters to make sure they get the message.
Maybe send a letter to the British Head office expressing your concerns and while you are at it ask when McDonalds are going to recognise unions in the UK?
