Problem Posing method

The problem is that MacDonald’s corporation has gotten in to controlling every single aspect of it branches. The form in which this problem takes is the actions of MacDonald’s in how they treat the people who work for them. It causes their workers to be treated without respect and unfairly. They also control the congressman by bribing them to oppose laws such as OSHA was trying to enforce. The consequences of these actions are shown by its workers, robbing the MacDonald that they work at, because they are fed up with how they get treated and their minimum pay job. Also the congressman taking money from bribes leads to the unregulated laws that could help these workers avoid being victims and statistic to how many die in a MacDonald robbery. This relates to how capitalism politics works. Those with money have the real power. One quote I found in the books is “spokesmen for MacDonald’s admitted that polygraph tests had been administrated but dined that any coercion was involved “p.g. 76 P2. This shows how much MacDonald’s is controlling their workers. I choose this quote because it’s a tactic that MacDonald uses to stop any unionization of one of its branches. The speaker is the author of the book. When I use to work for my older brother, He would want things to be done in a certain way, and at a certain time frame. It was difficult because he didn’t understand it took time. It’s his own private business so he runs it the way he needs it. Over time he came to understand it was hard work and he gave me more time. But this isn’t happening to MacDonald’s. The first step I would take to solve this problem is to start bribing congressman to oppose laws that MacDonald’s is trying to input for its own benefit, especially those with a lot of control. I would work with many of the groups that study McDonalds and those which try to help the worker. The second step would be to regulate the unfair laws in existence that gives big corporation like MacDonald unfair advantage towards their business. This would allow fair completion in the free market and an equal chance for everyone. It would help workers all over create unions and raise wages since the congressmen won’t think about the next paycheck from MacDonald but the next pay check from me and they would be glad to help the people with less power in the workplace for money of course.
