McDonald's announced this week it will no longer lobby against raising workers' pay
McDonald's announced this week it will no longer lobby against raising workers' pay. The company shared the news in a letter to the National Restaurant Association, which represents companies in the food-service industry, on Tuesday. The letter was first obtained by Politico.
In the letter, Gent touted a number of McDonald's policies that could prove attractive to workers, like paid time away from work and flexible schedules, among other things. McDonald's has long been targeted by wage increase activists. The Fight for 15, which organizes protests and pressures companies to raise their hourly minimum wages to $15, has pushed McDonald's to make a change. For some labor advocates, including Senator Bernie Sanders, the move is a step in the right direction.
