McDonald’s raises wages of roughly 90,000 US employees to nearly $ 10 per hour (9.30 euros). The employees of the restaurants rely on other improvements in their working conditions, such as paid holidays. That made the American fast food chain known tonight, reports Reuters.
As of July 1 increase the hourly wages of workers to one dollar above the minimum wage. Because that limit is not uniform, the average wage of workers coming out this summer at $ 9.90 per hour, while it is still $ 9.01. The end of 2016 is likely to be more than $ 10, according to McDonald’s.
The company’s action comes at a time when major chains in the United States are already put for a while under pressure by their staff because they lack would pay and working conditions were substandard. Previously decided include retail Wal-Mart already to raise wages.
The wage increase that McDonald’s now announces, applies not apply to all employees who stand behind the fryer. Staff franchisers comes does not qualify for more money. All 14,000 US restaurants are nearly 90 percent do not McDonald’s itself, but someone a restaurant operates under the banner of the chain
