Unexpected Benefit From A Strike??

Ordinarily I can't stand strikes, unions and the whole shebang but I think they are doing the public a favour in this case by curtailing the sale of this muck from their "restaurants" - so credit where it's due, thanks, The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, you may very well be performing a public service.

just what I said this morning... doing us a favour.. but McD's will miss the revenue

[ToraToraTora]

well they are only after a cock and hen for a lizzie, but hey ho, even if they get it they'll have to do a lot of toil to recoup lost bees at that rate.

TTT ..translation ?

[maggiebee]

Is TTT really as thick as his avatar suggests?

[ToraToraTora]

when are "burger" king coming out in sympathy?

[ToraToraTora]

what's up maggie, still yearning for different dependence? Get those Alans un brahmsed.

[murraymints]

have not a clue what yer sayin' TTT ....;0)

[Zacs-Master]

I quite like a MaccyD from time to time.

[AB Editor]

Is there any English translation for those of us who don't speak fluent TTT language? Or better yet, just say it in plain English to begin with!

[ToraToraTora]

Cock and Hen = ten, Lizzie = Lizzie Power = Hour, Bees = Bees and honey = Money, Alans = Alan whickers = Knickers, Brahms = Brahms and Liszt = Twist

[Zacs-Master]

I tend to have a chicken legend tho, rather than a burger.

[ChillDoubt]

Gutted.
Saw the OP title and thought Donald had started dishing out the ICBM's to NK and had got a direct hit on KJU....

What a nonsense post !

TTT....do you really think, that a strike at only 2 out of 1270 outlets are going to have any effect whatsoever ?

[youngmafbog]

Well it will have an effect on the Strikers pay packet this week and it will have an effect on those that fancied a MaccyD today from those stores.

[cassa333]

0.01% of the workforce hardly constitutes a collapse of McyDs.

But it's not about hours or pay it is about systems. So that's all right then.

The TV report made it clear there would be no loss of service as other team members would be called in to cover for the strikers.
All they have done is ensure MacDonald's will find a way to replace them with other workers.

[ToraToraTora]

have a day off mikey! It's a TIC post to illustrate the futility of strikes.

[jourdain2]

I once ate a McDonalds (c. 1989, sprog's friend's party). Worst meal ever was a Burger King in the U.S.A..

[EDDIE51]

I agree that zero hours contracts not a good idea for most people, but all this will do is ensure that the strikers get even fewer hours in the future. Strikes are not the way to tackle the problem.

I do like the occasional Egg and Sausage McMuffin for Breakfast !
