Recently, workers at McDonald’s organized a peaceful gathering to advocate for a starting wage of $15 per hour and the right to unionize without fearing retaliation. McDonald’s Corp., feeling (without reason, of course) threatened by this, allowed police to arrest 139 of these protesters, which included a rabbi.
I have had enough of this idiocy and have chosen to boycott the company until further notice.
How is it that, in the present day, a corporation thinks that it has the right to treat its workers like second-class citizens and get away with it? Look no further than the self-centered narcissists in corporate America, their equally narcissistic cronies in Congress and statehouses across the nation and even select employees within the private sector.
Educate yourselves to know what your rights are in the workplace, and exercise them without fear! This nation was founded by “We the People” NOT “We the Corporations.” Workers are the supermajority, and it’s high time we started acting like it. Your employer must obey the rule of law just as we do. The deviant individuals who believe otherwise must be stopped before it is too late.
I refuse to wave a white flag and surrender to these shameful egotists.
God save America!
