The book Fast Food nation has an example of them closing down a branch (in Canada I think) on the day there was due to be a ballot for union recognition there. I've always wondered how they get on in France where union recognition is mandatory. McDonalds doesn’t recognise trade unions.

It would be fascinating for example to see if McDonalds recognises trade unions, or if they pay above the minimum wage etc - really practical ways of demonstrating real change and trying to build a sound reputation for the business in Britain. What training programmes do they make available for staff? Can staff share economically in the success of the business? It's not just about what McDonalds do to the food - important though that obviously is. Sounds as though he has a huge job on. But good luck to him. And to a broader ethical approach to business.
