As the war between big business and protesting fast food workers rages on in the Fight for $15; McDonald's has drawn a line in the sand.  Through intimidation, surveillance, and even threats of arrest, the burger conglomerate is systematically violating the civil rights of employees who choose to speak out.

However, these courageous won't be pushed around by the multibillion-dollar enterprise. They are fighting back and have filed a lawsuit to expose McDonald's predatory tactics. Employees allege that police claimed they were given the green light to apprehend protesting fast food workers.

Sign the petition and demand that McDonald’s cease intimidation and surveillance of protestors fighting for a higher wage.

The lawsuit alleges that since Memphis workers took part in a nationwide day of protest in late 2014, they have been subject to harassment. Law enforcement has physically attempted to prevent restaurant employees from signing petitions for better working conditions by stepping behind McDonald’s counters, and even blackballed participants from city hall. After Fight for $15 held a “teach-in" about Andy Puzder, who, at the time was Donald Trump’s selection for labor secretary and former fast food CEO, attendees allege they were followed in unmarked cars after leaving the event.

McDonald’s is intent on punishing workers who dare to mobilize for a better life. We can help change this.

Sign the petition and demand that McDonald’s immediately put an end to the stalking and harassment of workers participating in the Fight for $15.
