SEIU Healthcare Michigan McScrooged Action!

15 members and staff of SEIU Healthcare Michigan leafleted and had conversations with employees, customers and managers at three Metro-Detroit area McDonalds.

Responses from customers and passersby were very positive and expressed outrage that McDonalds is spending millions to deny their workers a voice on the job, when they could be using that money to give their employees better wages and benefits. On the other hand, the reactions from employees at the locations were very reserved. Could this have been from the intimidation of having a manager / supervisor standing directly by each worker taking food orders and even behind the drive-thru workers?

It was obvious that McDonalds locations knew that we were going to protest their attempt to deny workers a voice at their workplace and had filled the restaurant up with all available managers and supervisors. One store had six managers on duty and even the owner present to suppress employees from expressing their support of Employee Free Choice and better wages and benefits for working families.
