WORKERS told McDonald’s bosses they “won’t keep on getting away” with handing people poverty pay, as the fast food giant was rocked by strike action across London yesterday.
Members of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU) shut down six branches of the transnational food chain across the capital.
The workers were demanding wages of £15 per hour, the choice of guaranteed hours of up to 40 hours a week, respect and dignity on the shop floor and an end to youth rates of pay.
