Greetings fellow burger slave!

This is a message from McDonald’s Workers’ Resistance (mwr.org.uk). We are an underground army of fast food freedom fighters. We don’t take shit, we make it. We are glad we have reached you and trust you will spread the message amongst your workmates.

We are fed up working our asses off while some lazy bastard sits on a yacht getting rich off our backs. We are sick of earning pissy wages doing pissy work in crappy polyester uniforms. We have had enough of being told how to look and when to smile; we have had enough of long hours with no overtime and enforced “staying on”. We are no longer prepared to suffer the recurrent humiliations of our McJobs. No more will our lives be dedicated to a pursuit of profit on behalf of those who already have too much. We have stopped living our lives for the benefits of the economy, we are thinking of ourselves. We don’t want to waste our lives working for McDonald’s or doing any of the other shit jobs available to us.

We are greedy, but not like McDonald’s shareholders. We do not want to own more than our fair share of the world’s wealth, we are greedy for our freedom and happiness.

We only smile when we are happy and we only hustle when we are playing pool.

We have already organised an international day of industrial action that involved workers from Moscow to Manchester and stretched from Adelaide to Aberdeen. But we need your help to increase the resistance and end our exploitation. Interested? See mwr.org.uk for more information. Welcome to the underground…

Alternatively you can ignore this message, get back on your knees and suck Ronald’s cock... but you may never get this message again.

Liberation begins when we put self-respect before burgers.
