Column: Trump's labor regulators hand McDonald's a big win over its workers

The NLRB today comprises four members, with one seat vacant. Three are Trump appointees and the fourth, Lauren McFerran, an Obama appointee. The McDonald’s ruling was decided 2 to 1 with McFerran dissenting and board Chairman John F. Ring not participating. In an emailed statement, McDonald’s told me it was “pleased” by the decision, which it said “allows our franchisees and their employees to move forward, and resolves all matters without any admission of wrongdoing.”

The big company claims that it has virtually no control over the franchisees wage rates or workplace conditions, even though any McDonald’s customer knows from the nearly identical customer experience nationwide that McDonald’s must exercise rigorous control over the individual restaurants.

Of course they did. Companies over People... that’s the new Republican Way 💥 ... 😔

A big win for businesses

You say that, because the California Democrats passed a bill to ban contract jobs (AB5). Now you're looking to someone to blame. You're untrustworthy.
