In chapter 3 of Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser, he explains the brutal obstacles individuals face behind the counters of fast food companies. Due to to McDonald's methods of avoiding unions, employees are often stroked by their managers, meaning workers are motivatied when they are given positive reinforcement on behalf by their managers. In 1973 (pg. 76), Employees were threatened to be fired by managers because they claimed they were forced to take lie detectors about union activites. This is a contradiction because McDonalds makes it seem like they treat their workers with respect and positive reinforcement, when in reality the workers have no type of benefitial support from McDonalds.
