This chapter examines the extent to which trade unions have been able to unionise McDonald’s restaurants in several European countries and the extent to which differing national arrangements for collective bargaining have had an impact upon the corporation’s ‘home country’ employment practices. We provide a brief analysis of the broader context of union organisation and collective bargaining in Europe and then move on to examine the impact that the trade unions and collective bargaining frameworks have had on McDonald’s European operations. But we first begin by examining McDonald’s experiences with unions ‘at home’ in North America and then in some other countries around the world.
