McDonald’s buys another luxury jet but won’t pay workers a decentwage


Campaign for America's Future

McDonald’s just bought another $35-million-dollar luxury jet.  Yet their employees make so little they rely on public assistance just to get by.

This costs taxpayers $1.2 billion a year!

It’s not right to impoverish your employees while sailing above them at a rate of $2,500 an hour. It’s immoral to do it with a taxpayer subsidy.

Sign the petition telling Donald Thompson, CEO of McDonald’s to cancel his order for another corporate jet until he pays all his employees a decent wage.

Marketing materials claim the jet, a luxurious Bombardier 605, “makes listening to Beethoven on the dual Blu-Ray Disc player, or watching a movie on either of the two 22″ HD monitors, a real pleasure.”
