And it gets those without having to pay drivers (and technically even workers in most McDonalds’ restaurants since they are franchised), so why would they start?
Delivery and final assembly of food is not McDonald’s’ business.
They would start if workers organized against them. I'm responding to the notion that there's not enough value on the table for collective action
"final assembly of food"?
I haven't eaten McDonald's in a while, but from what I remember the food arrived fully assembled.
McDonald’s sells their marketing and logistics, and rents real estate, to franchisors. The franchisors’ business is the one that employs people who do final assembly of the food.
The franchisors’ profits and profit margins are nowhere near McDonalds’.
