: Any fast food employee who walks out on thier shift and proceeds to protest the store and tarnishes the brand name should have been promptly fired. When you're on company time you are expected to perform your job, I don't care where you work.

However there tend to be these wee union recognition laws and em,ployement rights that recognise that we are allowed to strike without fear of retribution. And if the strike is done properly you'd be faced with firing your entire staff...

: If any of my employees walked out (and so far none ever have) they are crossed off the schedule permanately.

What a charming person you are....

: And if anyone held a demonstration on the premises they would be arrested.

Erm, what offense? Last I heard, here at least, trespass was a civil offense, if they're quiet they can't be doen for breach of the peace....oh, yes, a subservient police force, thats how its done...

: Why those managers didn't have a backbone and fire the whole lot of them I'll never know. And I can't understand why a fast food worker would want to join a union for a MF'ing $5.50 part time job. The vast majority of fastfood workers think that going on strike or joining a union is stupid for a part time job

Thats exactly what McD's wants and expects, and thats exaclty why people should unionise, because it can make teh job more worth it, and it can improve conditions. MCD and BK exploit the part time teenage workers knowing they'll take more shit than mos, because its only tranistory...
