More pay, new benefits at McDonald's US
Moves are in response to competition in tighter job market and labour campaigns
New York
MCDONALD'S announced on Wednesday that it would raise wages and offer new benefits to 90,000 employees in the 1,500 outlets in the United States that it owns and operates, responding to competitive pressure from a tighter job market and to labour campaigns drawing public attention to its pay policies.
The decision, however, does not affect the 750,000 employees who work for the more than 3,100 franchisees that operate roughly 12,500 McDonald's restaurants around the country.
