Pizza-hut, KFC, McDonalds on hitlist trade union


The ACFTU, China's only allowed trade union, has warned foreign foodchains not to underpay their employees, reports the China Daily. A trade union official was over the weekend interviewed by CCTV after media reports from Guangdong signalled that employees of KFC and McDonalds possibly did not receive the legal minimum wage.
Other media reports indicated similar problems in Taiyuan, Zhengzhou and Fuzhou
The foodchains have denied they are not following the labor law and local regulations.
Update: CNN quotes Beijing News, saying the problem may exist in at least ten cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
