McDonald's follows RB lead on zero-hours contracts
posted on 13th April 2015
April 2015 - Following on from Restaurant Brands' announcement last week that it would end zero-hours contracts at all its outlets, McDonald's has announced that it will do the same - but Unite Union has called their proposal 'meaningless'
McDonalds NZ announced Monday all employees would receive 80 per cent security of hours up to a 40 hour cap, based on the average of the previous 12 weeks.
The company had presented its updated position on security of hours at its most recent collective bargaining meeting.
That had 'previously been common practice' when it came to scheduling in McDonald's restaurants, but would now be formally written into employment agreements, communications manager Kim Bartlett said.
Hoewver, Unite Union has criticised the proposal, calling it 'meaningless' and 'misleading'.
