Introduction to McDonalds Workers Resistance
McDonalds Workers Resistance (MWR) - Britain, 1996-2004
MWR was a group of mostly young McDonalds restaurant workers, founded in Scotland. Not an official union, it was a radical anarcho-syndicalist-influenced grouping which sought to assist McDonalds workers to better their wages and working conditions. Having some successes - remarkable given the transitional and difficult nature of fast food work, MWR mostly wound down in 2004 as many militants had left or been sacked.
