The fast-food giant is also encouraging its franchisees - which make up 95% of its restaurant base - to boost pay.
McDonald's, based in Chicago, said Thursday that its hourly wages will increase an average of 10% over the next few months to $13 per hour, rising to $15 per hour by 2024. Entry-level workers will make at least $11 per hour; shift managers will make at least $15 per hour. “Clearly, McDonald's understands that in order to hire and retain talented workers, something needs to change,” union organizer and McDonald's employee and union organizer Doneshia Babbitt said in a statement. “Now, they're raising pay for some of us and using fancy math tricks to gloss over the fact that they're selling most of us short.”
However, the vast majority of McDonald's nearly 14,000 U.S. stores are owned by franchisees who set pay in their own restaurants.
