The strikers obtained:
- The replacement of faulty machinery
- More and longer breaks
- Strike pay for all three days

The strike was accompanied by protests outside the branch. Employees from Pizza Hut (part of the same group) were present at the demonstrations.

KFC workers in New Zealand had previously won other gains by striking (see picture, above).
