McDonald’s and Starbucks Tweet About Social Justice, But Fail Employees | Eater
"The fast-food giant issued a message naming Black victims of police violence and pledged donations to the National Urban League and the NAACP, but the missive was met with sharp criticism from civil-rights groups and workers’ advocates—one asked whether Black lives matter when they work in the restaurants, while a prominent worker movement declared the company ‘not one of us.’ Critics pointed to the chain’s history of relying on cheap labor and resisting unionization, arguing that social-media solidarity and one-off donations ring hollow against a corporate model that prioritizes profit over worker safety, fair pay, and addressing systemic injustices." - Jenny G.
