New family job-share policy


Now this is a great idea, being trialled by McDonalds in Britain and so far, so good.
New rules allow family members, grandparents, siblings, parents to share a job. Any member can sign in for a shift without having to notify management.

Take note UNITE. This is a policy which would go a long way to helping families. Put your energy into campaigning for something similar here.

I agree that might be the downside, certain family members not pulling their weight. But that is for them to work out.
The link says that if the scheme is successful McDonalds will extend it further to include friends.

McD's is a great motivator for teenagers to continue with their education!

I's that or work there full-time!
