Welcome to the McWorkers’ Resistance blog!

March 24, 2009

This is the very first post in what I hope will be many.

The Inside McJob™ is a blog dedicated to organising and coordinating the resistance of super-exploited workers in McJobs all over the world. All posts will be by McD’s workers or from other workers with similar experiences of systematic exploitation at the hands of profit-hungry bosses with no regard for workers’ rights or paying decent wages, especially since most of those in McJobs are young, and are often already debt-ridden students.

The intention is to use the blog as a space for discussion of problems and grievances, as well as a place to organise meetings and circulate ideas about how we can fight Ronald McDonald and his minions.

The main aims are:
* to expose corruption and mistreatment by managers at work
* to explain why and how we can fight through rank and file organisation in trade unions, workplace commitees and direct action (such as strikes and stunts)
* to fight for equal pay for equal work and against the ageist and measly minimum wage which seeks only to divide us
* to link up with workers in other workplaces with similar problems – to unite and fight with  common goals to overcome the exploitation, misery, poverty and tyranny of capitalism
* to educate all workers in their basic rights at work under the current system and explain a programme for pushing forward to democratic workers’ control

All these will be set out in more detail in the forthcoming perspectives/aims document.

All posts will be anonymous.

The blog does not discriminate!

Forward to the victorious McRevolution!

    I’m loving it!

    Youth are being hit hard by the economic crisis and very few of us are in trade unions and socialist organisations. We need to change this and unite together with other workers to fight back and save our jobs and improve our pay and conditions.

    I’m looking forward to the next post!
