Fast-food company McDonald's could face its first staff strike in the UK, after workers at two stores backed a call for industrial action. Employees at McDonald's restaurants in Cambridge and Crayford, near London, voted overwhelmingly for a strike. The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) said staff wanted secure working hours and a £10 per hour wage. A spokesman for McDonald's said the fast-food company "works hard to ensure teams are treated fairly". "We can confirm that, following a ballot process, the BFAWU have indicated that a small number of our employees representing less that 0.01% of our workforce are intending to strike in two of our restaurants." "As per the terms of the ballot, the dispute is solely related to our internal grievance procedures." Rebecca Long-Bailey, Labour's Shadow Secretary for Business, Environment and Industrial Strategy, said: "The strike at McDonald's is motivated by working people coming together to fight for decent pay and working conditions." The company in April announced that staff would be offered a choice of flexible or fixed contracts with minimum guaranteed hours. McDonald's, employs around 85,000 staff in the UK and one million worldwide.

The faster they do that. The faster we'll implement a universal living wage. Single payer in the USA is right around the corner.

The union can block that too lol. :P

I haven't seen one of those yet. I kind of want to try it out.

Whatever. The business was run by or at least founded by religious fundamentalists, and they live off of profit alone. It's a shame I can't go and make my own burgers (chicken or beef) because if I could, I won't need a McDo.

We don't really have those. You also get a reference to a Bible verse at the bottom of the paper trays you're given for fries at In 'n' Out.

Making your own burgers is pretty simple. I mean, just buy the chicken from the grocery store, dump it in a fryer, and put it in between two buns. :P

I didn't know McDonald's was religious though. Are you sure about that? I can't find anything about it online.
