MCDONALD’S workers have warned bosses that “together we are powerful” as they announce the biggest wave of fast food strikes Britain has ever seen.

Employees in six of McDonald’s London branches, who are members of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU), have told company managers this morning that they will be going out on strike on Tuesday November 12.

The strike is expected to shut down the Balham, Catford, Crayford, Deptford, Downham and Wandsworth Town branches of the transnational fast food corporation.
