McDonalds Not Welcome In Tecoma
Jun 18^th, 2011 at 5:28pm

A massive protest is gathering momentum in the beautiful rural town of Tecoma, near Emerald Victoria to stop Multi National fast food giant MaDonalds from opening and trading in their town. The residence are citing environmental and disturbance factors as the reasons for their stand.

I for one agree - McDonalds are multinational corporate scum with a huge carbon deficit to the Earth and humanity and should be banished town by town.

Quote:

McProtest gathers momentum in Tecoma

OPPOSITION to McDonald’s opening in Tecoma continues to grow, with Save Tecoma signs now appearing on power poles throughout the hills.

The Save Tecoma Signs, which show the McDonald’s symbol with a red cross over it, have been put on poles in Tecoma and Belgrave.

The company wants to open a 24/7 restaurant at 1529-31 Burwood Highway.

More than 200 residents attended a community meeting in Tecoma a fortnight ago to show their opposition to the plan.

Almost 1000 people have also joined a Keep McDonald’s out of the Dandenong Ranges Facebook page.

I wonder what JuLIAR and Bob Brown are thinking...

I know Maccas are everywhere but surely those cravings can be held back for a few kilometers.

That would depend on its commitment to manufacturing and jobs in Australia, I am done with outsourcing corporate parasites. If they want to operate according to the corporate ethics of the past, they can pack up right now and leave and we will build our own from the ground up. Cool

Employed at exploitation wage rates and conditions with a net benefit of Zilch to the country. McDonalds is a blood sucking parasite, bad for the heath of the nation, the economy and the Earth. Cool
