This is not even close to the first time something like this has happened. In denmark unions collectively crippled mcdonalds operations, with sympathy strikes disallowing deliveries, from dockworkers refusing to unload supplies and equipment, to construction workers refusing to fit out stores, to truckers refusing to deliver supplies and food and beverage workers refusing to work on supply chain items. Mcdonalds workers are now paid $22 an hour in denmark
Similar reason amazon simply doesn't operate here. Many other companies have learned the hard way: you simply don't fight the system, give fair contracts, and things work out okay.
- dalbasal 3y agoJust treat the system as the system. Locate there if your business model works in that system. If you plan on a "normal" employment model where workers get fired sometimes, redundancy is part of your MO, etc... don't locate to France. If you plan on being union free, don't go to Sweden. Walking in with declaration that "you can either have McDonald's or you can have your union model," that is so immature. I can't think of another aspect of business where this kind of thinking is acceptable. Imagine doing this with building permits or whatnot.
