据外媒报道，因美国员工持续罢工和抗议，全球快餐业巨头麦当劳表示，麦当劳品牌已经成为工会策划的抗议活动的牺牲品，可能会伤害麦当劳与加盟商之间的关系。
据报道，自周一开始，美国联邦行政法庭就麦当劳等一些大企业是否对他们的加盟商的一些行为负有责任举行系列听证会，如加盟商支付给快餐店员工的时薪太低等问题。
部分原文报道如下：
As legal proceedings got under way in a labor dispute that could upend the relationship between big retailers and their franchisees, an attorney for McDonald's Corp. told a federal administrative judge the company is the victim of a union-orchestrated attack on its brand.
At issue in the hearings that began Monday is whether companies like McDonald's share responsibility for the actions of their franchisees, particularly regarding complaints about low wages paid to fast-food workers.
