Boycott McDonald', they boycott real meat after all...
McDonald's really knows how to celebrate liberty and justice. On the eve of the international recognition Human Rights Day, McDonald's announced it will launch a massive campaign to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act. So, let's respond in kind: boycott McDonald's.

As a reminder, the right to form a union is an internationally guaranteed right, inscribed in the UN charter via the International Labor Organization's declarations:

2. I Already Do.
Is there some other uuay I can protest uuhat McDonald's is trying to do to its uuorkers?

Note: In protest of the continuing occupation of OUR Uuhite House by the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies, I REFUSE to use the letter betuueen "V" and "X". Instead, I use a "double u", as in "Uuhite House".

13. Good idea....
Arlo Gutherie would be proud.

Drive up to, or go into , Mcdonald's, and when asked what you want to order...
tell them Union rights.
Then say you refuse to order untll they comply with the law.

NOw, what would happen if , say, 100 people a day did that in a medium size town?
Every day?
Or one person did that every day to 3-4 stores?

What if they had single page handouts and asked the clerk to give it to the manager, then just walked out?

16. Well I would, but
it's hard to boycott it when I haven't been in one for 15 years or so.

17. Even their soda is horrible. I swear, they can't make anything but fries.
Salad, what? Are you kidding? It might have been lettuce, a month ago....It enver was cheese or bread....and don't even think about the so-called beef. Just don't think about it.
