The retail union is taking fast food giant McDonald’s to court for allegedly denying rest breaks to more than 250,000 workers but the fast-food giant has claimed the union itself accepted the long-standing practice.
The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association lodged a Federal Court claim late on Thursday against 323 McDonald’s operators and the multinational firm itself over the alleged denial of paid rest breaks at nearly 1000 current and former McDonald’s sites.
