➸ Stop McDonald's from cheating workers out of their paychecks

When single mother Natalie Gunshannon went to get her first paycheck from her new job at McDonald’s, she was in for a shock — McDonald’s gave her her wages on a fee-riddled debit card that would charge her every time she used it charging her $5 just for withdrawing money at the bank.

What’s more, when Natalie asked for a check, McDonald’s refused, saying she had to take the card — and the charges — or not take any money at all. This is a way for her local franchise operator to save a few dollars from the cost of cutting checks, by passing the burden on to its employees, pushing many of them below minimum wage.

Tell McDonald’s to ban the practice of forcing employees into fee-riddled debit cards.

This needs to be illegal (for tax returns as well).

Not all McDonalds do this, but those that do need to stop. Also, lots of food service places of employment do this, too. When my husband worked at Chili’s, he had one of these crappy cards. It’s total bullshit.
