Boycott McDonald’s: How will it affect the restaurant?
24 june 2025 в 17:13
When someone thinks of America, a popular image is a hamburger with fries from McDonald’s. But the American People’s Union of the USA is organizing a boycott of the multi-billion dollar fast food chain. So, will it work? Below you will find all the details about the boycott and how it can impact the restaurant.
The Instagram account of the American People’s Union of the USA called on people to boycott the fast food chain, demanding «fair taxes, an end to price gouging, real equality, and corporate responsibility».
«This is a demonstration of strength, solidarity, and people-based change», - the union added in a statement posted on Instagram on June 21. «It's not just about burgers and fries, it’s about power. When we come together and hit corporations in their wallets, they listen. Let them feel it. Let them hear us. Let this be just the beginning».
The principle of the boycott is to avoid purchasing anything at McDonald’s from June 24 to June 30.
The economic boycott is a national grassroots campaign created by the American People’s Union of the USA to motivate consumers to understand their own impact on the American economy and challenge the control that large corporations have over people.
According to the union’s website, it is not a political party, but rather a «movement for ALL people, regardless of race, gender, religion, or political affiliation».
«Our goal is to unite Americans against the corruption and greed that have forced us to fight for decades», - the union says on its website.
It is unclear how many people across America — and around the world — will stop buying meals at McDonald’s for a week from June 24 to June 30. But if enough people do, the restaurant may face a decline in sales during an already declining period. According to CNN, McDonald’s just experienced its worst economic quarter since the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales in the network fell by 3.6 percent in the beginning of this year, marking the second consecutive quarter of price declines, the publication reports.
Net profit for the first quarter for McDonald’s was $ 1.87 billion, which was lower than $ 1.93 billion in the same period a year ago, according to CNN.
Therefore, if enough McDonald’s customers boycott the chain this week, the restaurant may feel an even deeper wound in its sales
