　　McDonald&aposs protesters arrested outside HQ

　　In a prelude to protests planned for the McDonald&aposs annual shareholders meeting Thursday morning, police arrested 139 protesters on Wednesday afternoon outside McDonald&aposs world headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.

　　Oak Brook police said protesters arrested for criminal trespass were from a group of 101 McDonald&aposs workers and 38 clergy and union activists who chose to cross a police barricade.

　　Workers chanted "Hey McDonald&aposs You Can&apost Hide, We Can See Your Greedy Side," and "No Big Macs, No Fries, Make our Wage Supersize," as the arrests were made.

　　The Oak Brook Police Department was assisted by several surrounding-area departments, said Officer George Peterson, a department spokesman.

　　Some of those arrested were uniform-wearing McDonald&aposs employees who had come for the protest from 33 U.S. cities. Also arrested was Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, according to the union. Police could not immediately confirm that. The union is the financial and logistical backer for Fast Food Forward, the group organizing the protests.

　　Workers and activists — who demand $15-per-hour pay and the right for fast-food workers to try to unionize without retaliation — say they have focused on McDonald&aposs because of its size and influence. "Workers are taking on the biggest, baddest, richest in the $200 billion fast-food industry," says Kendall Fells, leader of Fast Food Forward. "If we can bring McDonald&aposs to the table, the road ahead will be a lot easier."

　　The Rev. Dr. William Barber II, head of the NAACP&aposs North Carolina chapter, led the march onto the sprawling McDonald&aposs campus. "We can&apost treat corporations like people, and people like things," he said. "A living wage is a moral mandate, and it&aposs time for McDonald&aposs to pay fast-food workers their just due now."

　　Fast Food Forward officials said more than 2,000 gathered for Wednesday&aposs protest. McDonald&aposs officials estimated the crowd at 600, and Oak Brook Police estimated the crowd at 1,000 to 1,500. Department spokeswoman Erica Huff said they arrived in 32 buses.

　　Wednesday started out as a day of cat-and-mouse among the group, police and McDonald&aposs. The protest was planned for McDonald&aposs U.S. headquarters building, but police closed a key road, and McDonald&aposs had advised workers at that building to work from home.

　　When protesters arrived to a mostly empty parking lot, they opted to move to the other side of the campus to the company&aposs world headquarters.

　　McDonald&aposs said it has no plans to make any changes for Thursday&aposs annual meeting. "Folks have a right to protest peacully and express their views," says spokeswoman Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem. "We&aposre gearing up for our annual business meeting tomorrow and welcoming our shareholders to campus."

　　據(jù)《今日美國(guó)報(bào)》網(wǎng)站報(bào)道，周三(5月21日)下午在伊利諾伊州橡樹溪麥當(dāng)勞全球總部大樓外，警方逮捕了139名示威者，他們?cè)ㄓ?jì)劃周四上午在麥當(dāng)勞股東年會(huì)再次舉行抗議活動(dòng)。

　　員工們被捕時(shí)高喊：“嘿，麥當(dāng)勞你不要隱藏，我們能看到你貪婪的一面，”以及“不要巨無霸漢堡!不要炸薯?xiàng)l!給我們加工資!”

　　無報(bào)復(fù)之意只是為嘗試組建快餐業(yè)工會(huì)，要求給快餐員工增至?xí)r薪15美元的麥當(dāng)勞員工和激進(jìn)分子說：由于麥當(dāng)勞規(guī)模以及影響力，所以他們主要針對(duì)的是麥當(dāng)勞?？觳颓斑M(jìn)(Fast Food Forward)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人肯德爾說：“員工在擁有資產(chǎn)2000億美元而且最大規(guī)模、最糟糕也最有錢的快餐業(yè)上班。如果我們能夠讓麥當(dāng)勞公司出面解決問題，前面的路會(huì)容易很多。”

　　快餐前進(jìn)(Fast Food Forward)官員稱周三的抗議者多達(dá)2000人。麥當(dāng)勞官員估計(jì)600人，而橡樹溪警方估計(jì)1000至1500人。美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院發(fā)言人艾瑞卡說，示威者來時(shí)乘坐32輛大巴。

　　在示威者抵達(dá)空蕩蕩的停車場(chǎng)時(shí)，他們選擇從另一個(gè)入口進(jìn)入公司全球總部的大院。

　　據(jù)麥當(dāng)勞說，周四的年度股東大會(huì)不打算更改。發(fā)言人Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem說：“人們有權(quán)進(jìn)行和平示威游行以及表達(dá)他們的觀點(diǎn)。我們正在籌備明天的年度業(yè)務(wù)會(huì)議，而且歡迎我們的股東到公司全球總部的大院來?！?/p>
