Burger boxes go through many hands
The Unia union criticized on Thursday that McDonald’s did not adequately protect its workers from the corona virus. The measures taken by the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) could not be followed in the fast food provider’s still open operations, the Unia regional section of Vaud denounced the company.

On average, five to six people touch the products sold before handing them over to customers, the union complains. In addition, it is impossible for employees in the kitchen to maintain the required distance of two meters – despite the adhesive tape installed.

Instructions are implemented
McDonald’s Switzerland rejected Unia’s allegations. The instructions of the Federal Council would be followed to the letter, the company wrote in a statement to the Keystone-SDA news agency. Nevertheless, it was decided to close. (sda)
