March 8, a McDonald's logo for women?<\/h2>\n

It's always risky to make some fun with a logo.
\nFor
International Women's Rights Day<\/a>, McDonald's finds out the hard way.<\/p>\n

It all starts with a well-crafted marketing operation:
\n\"What if we flipped the logo over on the arch to change the \"m\" to \"w' in honor of the Women?\"
\n\"Yeah!\" Cool! I'm driving the crane!\"<\/p>\n

Well, that's a good intention. It's about recognizing and celebrating the extraordinary contribution of women at Mc Donalds. It is also an opportunity to recall that 6 out of 10 restaurant managers are women.<\/p>\n

To make sure everyone knows, they create special packaging, uniforms and bags printed with this \"w\". They even make a website and a nice short film...<\/p>\n

So far it's a nice, well-oiled communication operation. Yet...<\/p>\n

364 days for men?<\/h2>\n

Communicators, proud of this creative gem, have probably forgotten that an idea can often turn against itself.
\nOn the morning of March 9, four men returned to put things in order. The \"W\" is back for 364 days the \"M\" for \"Man\"!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

American social networks have had a field day. But behind this legitimate mockery, little voices have come to the ears of the public, former employees who tell their version of Mc Donalds' social policy. The reality is that many employees have poorly paid and precarious employment contracts. Working conditions that affect women the most.<\/p>\n

In particular \"zero hour<\/a>\" contracts, a specificity of American law* which allows an employer to indicate \"0h\" on the duration of working time. If there is no work, then you are not paid! A type of contract that left many women workers temporarily without income to support their families.<\/p>\n

*This type of contract also exists in France, in a restricted way.<\/em><\/p>\n
