麥當(dāng)勞員工在總部大樓外被捕 因要求漲工資

In a prelude to protests planned for the McDonald's annual shareholders meeting Thursday morning, police arrested 139 protesters on Wednesday afternoon outside McDonald's world headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.

Oak Brook police said protesters arrested for criminal trespass were from a group of 101 McDonald's workers and 38 clergy and union activists who chose to cross a police barricade.

Workers chanted "Hey McDonald's You Can't Hide, We Can See Your Greedy Side," and "No Big Macs, No Fries, Make our Wage Supersize," as the arrests were made.

The Oak Brook Police Department was assisted by several surrounding-area departments, said Officer George Peterson, a department spokesman.

Some of those arrested were uniform-wearing McDonald's employees who had come for the protest from 33 U.S. cities. Also arrested was Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, according to the union. Police could not immediately confirm that. The union is the financial and logistical backer for Fast Food Forward, the group organizing the protests.

Workers and activists — who demand $15-per-hour pay and the right for fast-food workers to try to unionize without retaliation — say they have focused on McDonald's because of its size and influence. "Workers are taking on the biggest, baddest, richest in the $200 billion fast-food industry," says Kendall Fells, leader of Fast Food Forward. "If we can bring McDonald's to the table, the road ahead will be a lot easier."

The Rev. Dr. William Barber II, head of the NAACP's North Carolina chapter, led the march onto the sprawling McDonald's campus. "We can't treat corporations like people, and people like things," he said. "A living wage is a moral mandate, and it's time for McDonald's to pay fast-food workers their just due now."

Fast Food Forward officials said more than 2,000 gathered for Wednesday's protest. McDonald's officials estimated the crowd at 600, and Oak Brook Police estimated the crowd at 1,000 to 1,500. Department spokeswoman Erica Huff said they arrived in 32 buses.

Wednesday started out as a day of cat-and-mouse among the group, police and McDonald's. The protest was planned for McDonald's U.S. headquarters building, but police closed a key road, and McDonald's had advised workers at that building to work from home.

When protesters arrived to a mostly empty parking lot, they opted to move to the other side of the campus to the company's world headquarters.

McDonald's said it has no plans to make any changes for Thursday's annual meeting. "Folks have a right to protest peacefully and express their views," says spokeswoman Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem. "We're gearing up for our annual business meeting tomorrow and welcoming our shareholders to campus."

據(jù)《今日美國報(bào)》網(wǎng)站報(bào)道,周三(5月21日)下午在伊利諾伊州橡樹溪麥當(dāng)勞全球總部大樓外,警方逮捕了139名示威者,他們原定計(jì)劃周四上午在麥當(dāng)勞股東年會(huì)再次舉行抗議活動(dòng)。

橡樹溪警方稱,包括101麥當(dāng)勞員工、38名神職人員以及工會(huì)激進(jìn)分子在內(nèi)的示威人群穿過警戒路障,涉嫌非法入侵而被捕。

員工們被捕時(shí)高喊:“嘿,麥當(dāng)勞你不要隱藏,我們能看到你貪婪的一面,”以及“不要巨無霸漢堡!不要炸薯?xiàng)l!給我們加工資!”

警方發(fā)言人喬治·皮特森警官稱:橡樹溪警方是在周圍地區(qū)幾個(gè)部門的協(xié)助下開展工作。

被逮捕的部分示威者是來自美國33個(gè)城市身穿統(tǒng)一制服的麥當(dāng)勞員工。據(jù)服務(wù)職工國際聯(lián)盟稱,該聯(lián)盟主席瑪麗·凱·亨利也被捕了。警方無法立即確認(rèn)。該聯(lián)盟向組織抗議的快餐前進(jìn)(Fast Food Forward)運(yùn)動(dòng)提供財(cái)政和物資援助。

無報(bào)復(fù)之意只是為嘗試組建快餐業(yè)工會(huì),要求給快餐員工增至?xí)r薪15美元的麥當(dāng)勞員工和激進(jìn)分子說:由于麥當(dāng)勞規(guī)模以及影響力,所以他們主要針對的是麥當(dāng)勞。快餐前進(jìn)(Fast Food Forward)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人肯德爾說:“員工在擁有資產(chǎn)2000億美元而且最大規(guī)模、最糟糕也最有錢的快餐業(yè)上班。如果我們能夠讓麥當(dāng)勞公司出面解決問題,前面的路會(huì)容易很多。”

(美國)全國有色人種協(xié)會(huì)(簡稱NAACP)北卡協(xié)會(huì)主席Rev. Dr. William Barber II帶領(lǐng)游行隊(duì)伍進(jìn)入了麥當(dāng)勞公司大院。他說:“我們既不能把企業(yè)當(dāng)成人看,也不能把人當(dāng)物看。最低生活保障金只是一種道德準(zhǔn)則,現(xiàn)在該是麥當(dāng)勞按時(shí)給員工支付工資的時(shí)候。”

快餐前進(jìn)(Fast Food Forward)官員稱周三的抗議者多達(dá)2000人。麥當(dāng)勞官員估計(jì)600人,而橡樹溪警方估計(jì)1000至1500人。美國國務(wù)院發(fā)言人艾瑞卡說,示威者來時(shí)乘坐32輛大巴。

周三開始了示威者、警方以及麥當(dāng)勞三方之間貓捉老鼠的一天。抗議活動(dòng)原定計(jì)劃在麥當(dāng)勞美國總部大樓舉行,但是警方關(guān)閉了主干道,而且麥當(dāng)勞也曾規(guī)勸大樓里的員工在家工作。

在示威者抵達(dá)空蕩蕩的停車場時(shí),他們選擇從另一個(gè)入口進(jìn)入公司全球總部的大院。

據(jù)麥當(dāng)勞說,周四的年度股東大會(huì)不打算更改。發(fā)言人Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem說:“人們有權(quán)進(jìn)行和平示威游行以及表達(dá)他們的觀點(diǎn)。我們正在籌備明天的年度業(yè)務(wù)會(huì)議,而且歡迎我們的股東到公司全球總部的大院來。”
