In September, the entire staff of a McDonald\u2019s in Bradford, Pa., walked out and quit their jobs. One of the staff members left a parting note for the customers, written in blue highlighter because he couldn\u2019t find a pen: \u201cDue to lack of pay, we all quit.\u201d
\u201cThe signs are\u2026kind of like primal screams,\u201d says reporter Greg Jaffe. \u201cIt\u2019s [the worker\u2019s] chance to convey a message: We\u2019re being mistreated. We\u2019re tired of it. This corporation treats us badly, and doesn\u2019t care about us.\u201d
Today on Post Reports, we\u2019re bringing you the second installment in \u201cQuitters,\u201d a three-part podcast series about a few of the millions of Americans who quit their jobs this year. Jaffe takes us inside the fast-food workers\u2019 season of rebellion.
