McDonald’s
says it can’t afford to pay her and the company’s more than 700,000
other American nonmanagement employees a wage that would lift them above
the poverty line. What McDonald’s Corp. can afford to do, though, is
buy itself a new corporate jet.
That’s right. Bloomberg News reported
earlier this week that McDonald’s Corp. has purchased for the use of its
executives a Bombardier Challenger 605, a 12-seat plane that goes for
between $27 million and $35 million ... Meanwhile ... other McDonald’s
employees have been offered a “McResources” telephone help line to call
that offers them helpful advice if they are having problems meeting
their expenses on their minimum-wage McPaycheck.
The advice: Sign up for
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“food stamp”) benefits and
Medicaid ... it is criminal that CEOs of corporations like McDonald’s
pay their full-time workers wages that keep them below the poverty line.

This company hires many people, pays a lot in taxes, and does not fly a pet dog around in a private plane with caretakers like "Bo" the President's dog.
The company also provides food that is widely loved.
The company is good for public relations in the whole world. sf
