McDonald's Being "Called Out Worldwide" as Brazil Opens Probe
In trying to determine whether true or not, I could not find any proof one way or the other. So that would definitely need an investigation for sure. If true, they would need to then prosecute them for fraud on the public since they are selling the hamburgers as if they were cows meat.
There is no doubt in my mind that if the TPP trade agreement passes, the global New World Order is here and we will see a completely different treatment for such abuses by corporations. If a NWO comes, it will be in the manner of a fascist state with our sovereignty completely gone along with our Constitution and freedoms, in our Bill of Rights. Thus we must pressure our congress to not approve such a treaty. If they won’t listen, then recall them.
McDonald’s Being “Called Out Worldwide” as Brazil Opens Probe

The investigation comes in response to a petition from Brazil’s General Workers’ Union (UGT), which asked the country’s Public Prosecution Service to open a civil inquiry into allegations of tax dodging, unfair competition, and labor infringements.
The complaint alleged McDonald’s has organized its business in Brazil in a way that allows it to avoid taxes, skirt compliance with local franchise laws, and engage in anti-competitive behavior that disadvantages competitors and consumers alike.
The news comes on the heels of an “unprecedented” hearing last summer, during which workers from five continents, elected officials, and international labor leaders gathered in Brasília to testify before the Brazilian Federal Senate on how McDonald’s is “driving a global race to the bottom.”
And it represents a new salvo of an international campaign. As USA Today notes, the push by UGT “is part of a larger ‘Fight for $15′ campaign backed by the Service Employees International Union in the United States. As part of its strategy to push for raising the minimum wage for fast food workers in the U.S. to $15 per hour, SEIU has sought to shine the spotlight on McDonald’s business practices around the globe.”
Indeed, in a Facebook post on Friday, Fight for 15 said the inquiry in Brazil was further evidence that “McDonald’s anti-worker policies are being called out worldwide.”
Earlier this year, three Italian consumer organizations filed a complaint with the European Commission, demanding that body launch an anti-trust investigation into the burger behemoth. The groups charge that the multinational food company “abuses its dominant fast-food market position in Europe, restricting consumer choice and leading to higher prices and poorer quality of service and food,” according to a summary of the complaint by Fight for $15.
Yet another Commission investigation is looking into whether McDonald’s is unfairly dodging taxes in Luxembourg.
