: : McD? working towards improving their workers lot? Who are you trying to kid?
: Try to improve your reading interpretation skills,I'll do my best. Thanks for the word of advice, mind you proper punctuation
would have helped.Anyway, let me sum up my understanding of your position:
1. You think workers should consider themselves lucky if they are £3.20 an hour
for doing a back-breaking job.
2. You don't agree that McD workers are low paid.
3. You consider demands for better pay and conditions of work for these workers as
unnecessary and merely "soap box posturing".
4. You think it's ok for McD to suppress the rights of its eployees to unionisation.
5. You think whoever tries to expose McD's exploitation of its workers is disingenuous.
6. You think it's ok for McD to force their crew members to carry out duties (eg.
unblocking toilets or equipment maintenance) that is not even in their contract
or they are not even trained for.
7. You disagree that working conditions at McD are bad and in need drastic improved.
8. You are totally silent about the fact that McD makes millions of profits each
year on the back of their workers and believe that McD pays its crew members
a fair wage,8. And then you want us to believe that you are genuinely concerned with the plight
of the "real low paid" workers"! Oh well, what can I say?I suppose you regard the working conditions at McD so reasonable that they
should be the model for the "real low paid" to strive towards!Your attitude towrds McD workers remind me of McD managers'
when I worked there. One begins to wonder whose side you are really on.
