Over the weekend news broke that the fast food giant is organizing its store 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."
Write to McDonald's and say employees need free choice - we'll send your letters to McDonald's headquarters to make sure they get the message.
According to published reports, McDonald's is part of a coalition of wealthy business interests opposed to the Employee Free Choice Act - not only is the coalition running ads against the Employee Free Choice Act, but it actively campaigned against pro-middle class candidates in the 2008 election.
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 reportedly actively organizing to prevent its employees from standing up for themselves at work.
Tell McDonald's it's not acceptable to work against their employees interests. Click here to write to McDonald's leadership and tell them to not oppose the Employee Free Choice Act.
The Employee Free Choice Act gives workers the free choice to join unions so they can bargain for better wages, benefits, and retirement security. People who join unions earn 30% higher wages and are 59% more likely to have health insurance.
It's clear that McDonald's isn't looking out for its workers. Please send a note today on behalf of McDonald's employees who just want a free choice at work.
