McDonald's Cwmbran's part in the campaign to change the dictionary definition of McJob' gathered more than 500 signatures. The company officially launched a public appeal on behalf of its 67,000 UK employees and their colleagues in the service sector back in May, calling for the UK's dictionary houses to reconsider the existing McJob' definition - "an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector".
The 560 signatures collected at the McDonald's restaurants in Risca and Cwmbran came from the 95 staff employed there, but also from the general public, demonstrating that people in Cwmbran are keen to give people working in the service sector the respect their hard work deserves.
