Here is the testimonial of a McDonald’s worker:
One day, under pressure to rush at my job at McDonald’s, I slipped on a wet floor. I reached out to catch myself – and I got caught on a hot grill.
My arm was burned. Badly. The managers had no first aid kit, no gauze. To treat the burn, they gave me mustard.
Yes, mustard.
When the mustard didn’t stop the severe pain, I was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. I was treated, given morphine for the pain – that’s how bad it was. I was forced to sit out work (with no pay) for weeks. I struggled to feed my daughter with no checks coming in.
Here’s the crazy part: FOUR out of FIVE fast food workers have a similar story of being hurt at work.
All say they were given condiments – mustard and butter – to treat their wounds. Seriously. It happens all the time, and it’s so wrong. Our bosses should treat us like humans…not hamburgers!!
It’s horrific. And it needs to end.Living in such conditions I have been wondering whether I should join the army. Any army.
