Really good stuff Cartoon head !! well said. This 70 jobs created bullshit, how do they get to that figure?? Most Mcdonalds are prefab buildings made elsewhere, it will never in a million years add 70 jobs to the local economy, they also take about 1-2 months to build and most contractors working on these go around the country doing them, 70 jobs?? what a total lie that is !
24 hour mcdonalds = 1 owner/3 x shift manager/ppl who microwave burgers and cook chips and chat x 30 = 34 + 1 who can make coffee
I don't know mind, I worked in one (which was probably a little bigger than this one will be) and I'd say, at full capacity and including everyone over a monthly rotor, you could possibly blag that many jobs... however I still think it's ****. It's not needed, and is a really poor piece of decision making. Those councillors really should be named and shamed, and their financial incomings examined. Something isn't right there.
So you have 34 people working one 8 hour shift 7 days a week (I'm not counting the owner)..... I don't think so. For a start a lot of those posts will be Part time working no more than 16 hours a week. So it's a little more complex than you made out. Most of the jobs at placing like McD, Subway etc, are Min Wage and part time.
Sorry my post should of read... So you have 33 people each working one 8 hour shift per day 7 days a week.
Boycotting McDonald 's everywhere in the general area , very publicly , is the ticket to chasing McDonald's from Liberty IMO .
Which ever way you slice it the Newspaper IMO is guilty of printing false info, i am well aware that the numbers include staff at Mc d's but 70? no way in earth there will be 70 people employed there full time thats for sure, these will surely be part time and weekend end jobs for most anyway, compare that to extra revenue prem football brings in swansea and its a no brainer.
All they need to do is compromise and move its location away from any position where future expansion of the stadium would be sited. maybe to simple for the council but there are loads of open spaces around and away from the stadium that would suffice. Thier much needed crap cardboard food can then compete with the many other food outlets inc the stadiums in the area . Personaly i would prefer a bookies by the stadium to put a bet on a swans win on match day i think it would be a little gold mine for someone, rather than another junk food joint.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but.... Do we not part own the football club? Do we not vote for these councillors? Do we have the right to protest ? Do you not like this debacle? If your answer is yes to all the above then lights fight this **** [video=youtube;8PaoLy7PHwk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PaoLy7PHwk[/video] Lets show them guys an gals
I'd happily boycott McDonalds. I'm getting to be a bit of a fat bastard and a diet won't do any harm at all. On a serious note, I dint think the catering company inside the Liberty would be too happy at this too.
Dilli: not to mention the other eateries around the stadium. Nobody seems to want this thing yet it's happening. So much for the will of the people.
the likes of mc`ds and tescos & thier franchises etc..do and get what they want due to the strokes they pull and massive bank rolls which run rings round week greedy councils and what the man on the street may want means nothing to them as they know we wont sway thier oppinion where proffit is thier god. grrrrrr
Ok so of they do get their way and build one, would we by law be able to stand in front of it on matchdays and protest and ask people not to go in ? If the trust or some body connected to the Swans did that if be well up for it. See what you're saying Aussie, the KFC, Harvester and Frankie's wouldn't be impressed either. They'd only give the jobs there to spotty chavs or fcukwits too.
