McDonald's

Sign this petition to show your support for McDonald's workers.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Because of McDonald's slow, inadequate, and irresponsible response to the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of thousands of McDonald's frontline workers are currently facing an impossible decision: keeping their jobs or protecting their health.

Dozens of McDonald's workers in 14 states have contracted the coronavirus, and in a recent survey.¹ In a complaint to OSHA, a McDonald's worker in Chicago described workplace conditions as "an imminent danger to our health."²

McDonald's needs to take action now to protect the health and safety of its workers, customers, and the communities where it operates.

McDonald's: Protect your workers and guarantee that every McDonald's worker has access to paid sick and family leave.

We must make it clear that if McDonald's wishes to be seen as a leader in the fast-food industry after this crisis, then it needs to put worker safety and public health first. No one should have to choose between their health or their livelihood. It's well past time that McDonald's use its vast resources to protect the workers who contribute so much to the corporation's brand, reputation, and profits.

Together, we can hold McDonald's accountable: Sign this petition today and urge McDonald's to immediately mandate paid sick and family leave protections for all workers.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!
