Earlier this year, a woman in Pennsylvania was expecting to get her first paycheck from her new job at McDonald’s, but rather than an envelope containing cash or a check, she received a prepaid debit card from Chase. This did not go over well.
When she asked her boss about the card — which has fees like a $1.50 ATM charge, a $5 charge for over-the-counter cash withdrawals, $1 per balance inquiry, and $.75 for online bill payment — she was told it was the only option. And so she took her issue to the franchisees, who she says confirmed that she had no choice but to take the card.
And so she quit her job and found an attorney, who has subsequently filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the single mom and other employees.
Good for her! Companies like McDonalds will get away with treating their employees like crap as long as the employees allow it to continue. If more individuals had strong morals and convictions like this woman, large corporations would be on their knees giving in to all of their employees demands.
