Chapter 3
Prompt: Why haven't fast food workers unionized and what tactics have management used to defeat union efforts?
I think the reason fast food workers havent unionized because they know that if they do they will become weaker as a company and maybe even get fired. In order to defeat union efforts they have created "Flying Squads" which are groups of managers that are sent to resturants that have been suspected of creating unions.
Chapter 2
Promp: Discuss the fast food industry's marketing to children and explore the ethics of targeting children, especially as they relate to advertising in schools.
I think it's a pretty smart move on there part because they know that if they target the children they will get more money and become more successful. When children want something they make sure they get it. So if they want fast foods they are going to beg their parents until they get it. So therefor they will be gaining more money from parents and children. I honestly don't think it's a good idea because that's where the obesity in children begins, and continues as they grow older and then they even begin to die depending on how serious it is. But then again it is the person eating the foods decision if they want it or how much they eat of it.
