McDonald's CEO 'Under Siege' At
Home And Abroad
--------------
In the final days of the month, its
China business was hit with a food-safety scare involving a key supplier; the
chain got ensnared in the West`s sanctions standoff with Russia; burger flippers
at U.S. restaurants claimed an incremental win from the National Labor Relations
Board in their fight to hold McDonald`s responsible for the actions of
franchisees; and, a Texas jury slapped the company with a $27 million verdict.
Add to all that its results showed second-quarter profit dropped more than
expected.
麥當勞問題頻出
內外交困四面受挫
--------------
7月末，麥當勞中國業務首先因主要供應商曝出食品安全問題而受到影響；隨后，因俄美關系緊張，麥當勞成為俄羅斯反制裁目標；同時，美國餐廳麥當勞員工取得勝利，美國國家勞資關系委員會認定，如果存在侵犯雇員權利的行為，可以追究麥當勞、而不僅是具體麥當勞餐廳的責任；緊接著，麥當勞德克薩斯一家餐廳造成顧客傷亡，麥當勞被判決賠償2700萬美元。這一切最終導致今年第二季度，麥當勞的利潤跌幅高于市場預期。
