McDonald's swindles employees!

    Basically tens and thousands of employees have found out they have been swindled by McDonald's, a company that serves billions and billions is being accused of stealing their worker's wages with various illegal practices. One of these practices is "off the clock" work which requires employees to pay  and clean their uniforms when it's the companies duty to take care of the costs of that themselves. Another employee was told to punch out shortly after arriving to work and being forced to wait around without pay until managers allowed his to punch in. Lawyers say McDonald’s franchisees use corporate computer programs to closely monitor the ratio of labor costs to revenues. When it exceeds a corporate-set target, managers allegedly tell workers arriving for their shifts to wait for up to an hour to clock in. Low wage fast-food workers often don't have a schedule to work with and cant get enough hours, so they have a second or third job. McDonald's practices this and other forms of wage theft that cause employees to lose an average of $2,600 per year. Around 25,000 McDonald's employees are named in just one of the California lawsuits, representing the totality of class action lawsuits. This drive to organize fast food workers began with relatively small NYC protest at a KFC in late 2012. In 2013 the December one-day strike saw fast food workers walk off the job in over 100 cities. A KFC employee explained that she can only get 15 hours a week at the KFC where she works and is paid $8 an hour. Previously, LeGrand worked at two separate KFC stores in order to piece together a 35-hour workweek. This clearly shows that the way the fast food industry has gone completely out of hand and is in need for change.
