Fast Food Nation Ch 3 Question

Fast workers haven't been unionized because they don't get along or work together. They don't want to work with one another and because they are unskilled workers.The tactics that the management use to defeat union efforts is not possible because if somebody illegal is working there or immigrant then people can't go to anywhere like ask help to a lawyer because they are not citizens.

Fast Food Nation Ch 2 Question -.-

In my opinion I think what the McDonald's people are doing to attract children is kind of bad. It seems bad because they are attracting them by creating characters and entertainment. Like for example they sell happy meals with toys and they made a playground just to attract costumers. It's kind of cheating because they are making all the people from going any other fast food restaurant. Yes the children like it so they keep on selling their products to people and the children.
