A trade union, backed by Jeremy Corbyn, is attempting to get McDonald's workers to go on strike next month to demand higher wages than police officers. Bakers Union announced the 'McStrike' for November 12 with demands including £15 an hour pay - double what most worker's currently earn and £3.70 more than the average starting salary for officers and double that of nurses.
The majority of McDonald's staff are paid around £8 per hour with the lowest rate at £6 - £1.25 more than the national living wage.

British nurses make $9.62 an hour. Next time someone says NHS is great ask them what educated person in the US would work for that in the US.'
