More Crumbs: McDonald's Raises Worker Tuition Aid Citing GOP Tax Bill
2018-04-02
[Townhall] McDonald's announced Thursday that it is expanding its "Archways to Opportunity" education benefits program for its workers, tripling the amount some employees qualify for each year for college tuition. The company will allocate $150 million to the global program over five years.

According to a statement from McDonald’s, there will also be a change in eligibility rules for the program which will allow 400,000 U.S. restaurant employees accessibility to the program.

The tuition assistance for McDonald’s crew members will be raised from $700 to $2,500 per year and will go up from $1,050 to $3,000 for restaurant managers.

The company explains that the expansion of their program was "accelerated by changes in the U.S. tax law."

#3  Public Relations Stunt. Still, if it helps one (1) teenager to pay for an education then isn't it better than giving the money to some 'fad' astroturf charity or criminal protest group like the Sea Shepherds?

#2  I don't see a lot of Mickey's help using the 'benefit'. Seems like a good way to tax shield revenue.
