Labor organization (click here) say they have established a union to address alleged labor violations. McDonald's says proper representation has not been set up but that it will sit with uinos when it is.
Just days after the young workers at Israel's Burger Ranch fast-food chain organized themselves, the Labor Union for Youth and Hareshet – the Young People’s Federation, announced that within less than a day they had succeeded in signing up enough workers at McDonald’s to set up a workers' union there as well.
These
labor organizations said the workers were organized so official
representatives could approach McDonald’s management to negotiate a
collective labor agreement. According to a survey conducted for Hareshet
by the Sarid Institute, 35 percent of the employees feel they aren’t
being paid fairly...

McDonald's says a key sales figure edged up modestly in July, as a bigger push behind its Dollar Menu and Big Mac in the U.S. helped offset declines in other parts of the world.
The world's biggest hamburger chain says global sales rose 0.7 percent at restaurants open at least 13 months. That included a 1.6 percent increase in the U.S., where it said "everyday value offerings," breakfast and staples such as the Big Mac drove up results.
McDonald's stock slipped almost 29 cents to end Thursday trading at $98.04. Over the past year, the stock is up 11 percent....
No one has to understand what McDonald's problems are in surviving the day. All citizens everywhere need to understand is that the problems will disappear when there is more circulating capital in the global economy.

Pete is a Domino's driver in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who makes $4 an
hour. Even with tips, he still averages about minimum wage at the end of
the day. Giovanni, a Pizza Hut worker in Milwaukee, makes minimum wage
while living with his mother to help pay rent. He says a roughly $300
paycheck per week is not even enough for a month's rent on top of all
the other costs of living. Pete, Giovanni, and roughly 1,000 other
fast-food and low-wage workers recently staged a one-day strike in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, protesting poverty wages while working for companies raking in billions in profits.
"I'm not just doing this for myself, I'm doing it for my mom, too," Giovanni says. "It's impossible to make it just on $7.25."...
Wall Street is making so much money they are wasting it on computer software that is collapsing financial markets. That is greed. There is no reason for it. The global community of workers need to organize, reclaim their dignity and with that THEIR POTENTIAL and not the potential of Wall Street.
We are the 99%.
We are the future.
We make Wall Street run.
It is time to make it happen.
