McDonald's Workers In UK Breaks Record By Going On Strike

#Nigeria

 

Donald’s workers are staging their first UK strike since the US burger chain opened in Britain over forty years ago, for claims of workplace bullying.

The 24 hour strike began at midnight at two outlets owned by the fast food giant which has been selling its burgers to Britons since 1974.

The Baker’s, Food and Allies Workers Union (BFAWU) said the staff had been left no alternative but to take “the historic step” after McDonald’s management failed to meet calls for better job security by ending controversial zero-hours contracts.

The fast food workers in Crayford, near Dartford, and Cambridge are not officially unionised but are being represented by the BFAWU on this matter. The union’s ballot found 95.7pc in favour of strike.

McDonald's workers are staging their first UK strike after walking out at two stores in a dispute over zero-hours contracts and conditions.

Workers at Cambridge and Crayford, south-east London, began the 24-hour action at midnight. A union called it a "brave" move by low-paid staff.

The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union said staff want a wage of at least £10 an hour and more secure jobs.

McDonald's said the action related to internal grievance procedures, not pay.
