- McJobs and Workers -Re: Just where did you get your 'facts'?-the transcriptsIn Reply to: Just where did you get your 'facts'? posted by Cathy on April 08, 1997 at 09:34:44:
Dear Cathy, I got my facts from reading both sides of the story & then drew my own conclusions. Also if you read some of the information on this site you will note the defendants signed an agreement which stated they in fact did write the leaflet. However they then turned around and denied it. Once again you can draw your own conclusions from this. Also if you take your time and read the transcripts in regards to your exploited workers you will see that 14 ex workers testified on behalf of the defendants. Now thats not a bad record when you consider the total amount of Mcd workers in the UK. You would think if ALL employees were being exploited they would stampede among themselves to testify. I guess the defendants motives were to draw attention to what they consider wrong doings by the company. They call each other anarchists. How convenient to call yourself an anarchist whilst living in a democratic capitalistic country with all the associated benefits. (including unemployment benefits). I mean why dont they live with their fellow anarchists. Pick a country, say, Albania. Go and live there if you enjoy the anarchist way of life so much. Excuse me the leaflet says McCANCER. If thats not a clear statement then I dont know what is.What do you think happened in regards to serving of these writs. Mcds were walking down the road and said "theres two people lets serve writs on them". The defendants were standing outside restaurants handing them out. I reiterate, this is not about free speech, its about defamation.
