On Friday the 28th of June, Unite National Secretary Mike Treen is going into mediation with McDonalds, over the company refusing to pay workers for breaks they are forced to work through.

85% of unionised McDonalds workers nationwide have voted to refuse the company’s measly offer of 25 cents over the next two years, and to take action for improved wages and conditions. This week we need to ramp up the community support, because their struggle is our struggle.

We’re demanding that McDonalds give workers a break, after all they make the company its millions.
