McDonald’s is certainly no stranger when it comes to being colossal McPricks. In fact, they’re pretty gangsta about it. We’re already aware of their notorious website and the not so hallmark-y advice McDonald’s has to offer its low-wage employees. But one former McDonald’s managers’ candid video, which features her explaining how corporate would force her to cheat employees out of pay to reduce labor costs, should compel anyone to unquestionably stop “Lovin’ it.”

Former McDonald’s Manager discusses adjusting employee hours and other ‘creative accounting’ ways to cheat employees.

“Oh, we’ve got to adjust labor” is what Kwanza Brooks, a former McDonald’s manager with 10 years of experience working at 12 locations, says a manager told her once as she was finishing up a shift.

It seems that Brooks joined forces with Lakia Williams, another ex-McDonald’s manager, in shedding light on the utterly abysmal labor practices of McDonald’s former employer in the above video. The video was put together by Low Pay Is Not OK. Both Brooks and Williams speak calmly and matter-of-factly about the anti-labor practices of McDonald’s, echoing the same concerns in the class action lawsuits brought against McDonald’s in California, Michigan, and New York earlier this month.

Here’s what one of the attorney’s representing the McDonald’s employees in the class action suit had to say:

“It’s our understanding that both the managers and McDonald’s monitor what percentage of overall sales go to labor at any point in time, ”B.J. Chrisholm, one of the attorneys representing workers in the California case, told me the day the lawsuits were announced. “It’s really the sort of obsession with keeping that labor number low that results in a lot of the practices that we’re seeing in the restaurants.” (Takepart.com)

The candor from Brooks and Williams is yet another reminder how the one percent have hijacked the middle and lower classes. The sheer gall of McDonald’s and their hatred of their own employees makes Ronald McDonald look less like a friendly clown and more like the Wolf of Wall Street.
