      Most McDonald’s stores are privately owned franchises. If corporate is crafting their franchise agreements such that private store owners are not able to pay a living wage to employees, then corporate is to blame.

      But private owners are the ones who ultimately set wages. Franchisees need to bear some responsibility here, too. They’re the ones who are in a position to pressure corporate for franchise agreements which give them a better opportunity to offer living wages, and they’re not.
