Response to McDonald's Firing Employee Who Foiled a Robbery with a Gun from Larry Savage Originally published on this
website June 29, 2000 In response to the story about McDonald's
firing an employee who used a gun to foil a robbery, available at: http://Click2Houston.com/hou/news/stories/news-20000629-114707.html The restaurant owner is glad that the employee
defended himself and foiled the robbery. They had been robbed at gunpoint
before. Now the owner will be pressured to dismiss the employee because carrying
firearms is against corporate policy. It's time to put pressure on McDonald's. Most of these corporate giants are more
concerned about what investors think than what customers think. You can contact
McDonald's Investor Relations at: 630-623-7428 (Individual Investors) or write: Jack M. Greenberg Chairman and CEO, McDonald's
Corp. Kroc Drive Oak Brook, IL 60523 My letter: Jack M. Greenberg Chairman and CEO, McDonald's
Corp. Kroc Drive Oak Brook, IL 60523 Dear Mr. Greenberg, News reports indicate a self defense shooting
by a McDonald's employee occurred during an armed robbery at your restaurant
located at 5301 East Freeway, Houston, TX on June 28. The maintenance employee
chose to carry a firearm due to the failure of McDonald's to maintain a safe
work environment. Armed robberies have occurred in the past at this location. A
recent robbery at a Wendy's in New York City resulted in the death of five
employees. News reports also indicate that despite the
wishes of the restaurant owner, the employee may be dismissed due to McDonald's
policy prohibiting the carrying of firearms by employees. It is disturbing that
McDonald's would violate the basic human right of self defense and force
employees in dangerous locations to become victims. You should be ashamed.
Change your corporate policy. Larry Savage (address withheld) To Get Your Letters Printed Here |
