#3 Bad Working Conditions for Workers at Fast Food Companies

   Most people may have ever heard about bad working conditions for workers at fast food companies before. The first linked article is about how many workers working at fast food are unfairly treated by the companies. A reason why they are treated unfairly is because most of them are immigrants and young people. Also, they have to work something out of working time and their tasks, it is not included in their salary. Of course, tasks of fast food are simple and easy in comparison with other companies' tasks. But if they work full-time for over 10 hours a day, it is not easy tasks and comparing with time and money it is included in hard working. Moreover, even some of them do not still get minimum wage. Hence, some can not earn a living in any legitimate way, it can be related with a crime.


   According to these articles, workers of fast food want a union, the hotel employees and restaurant employees union, to get better life. Union organizers have performed one of the biggest things for the employees joined in union. So, some who do not still join in union want to unionize. Moreover, to struggle with expensive rent fee and other costs workers of fast food must be guaranteed about something by their companies. For most of fast food companies are big groups, the companies should treat them as one of their family members, at least full-time workers. If most of the employees do not take care of their businesses due to unfair treatments, an image of the companies would be damaged by them. Hence, they need to mediate their opinions each other. 


   To guarantee a contract about health insurance and better salary they just want the employees have to struggle with the companies by doing something. I could find out many articles about these problems because it is of frequent occurrence. The companies should know how they get a lot of profit, including a part of employees' wage. Thus, if the employees still stay not to do something, they would not get any things later.
