McDonald’s earned $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013. That’s funny because McDonald’s costs US taxpayers $1.5 billion a year as we provide health benefits for their employees that their pay rates can’t cover.
Information like this was bad enough. But it recently came out that McDonald’s may have been straight robbing their employees of their hard earned money.
Employees in three states have introduced a class action lawsuit against McDonald’s seeking to rectify their behavior, treat their employees better and to raise their wages to around $15 per hour.
How was McDonald’s allegedly stealing from their workers?
Denied them meal and rest breaks
Shaved hours from pay records
Wouldn’t let them clock in until after more customers arrived
Uniform purchase and maintenance costs dropped pay below minimum wage
Rearranged hours worked to avoid paying overtime
Want firsthand proof?
