The main ethical issue arises in this article is mistreatment of employees in fast food industry. In this article, fast food restaurants offer low wages and poor schedules for their employees. As a result, there is a high employee turnover rate in the fast food industry.

The main reason results in high employee turnover is poor management. Take Wendy’s restaurant as an example, it provides young teenagers with job opportunity that makes them enter into the workforce. However, Wendy’s treats unfairly in regards to working hours and line of communications between levels of management and employees. Employees who work for fast food restaurants are always getting overtime work, but only get minimum wages. Although the wage is low, younger employees still decide to work there because they can gain more work experiences to build a good resume; and they may leave upon graduating.

A friend of mine used to work for Wendy’s, she often got closing shifts and overtime working without getting extra pay. She told me this kind of cases happens all the time in fast food industry. I am thinking about fast food restaurants should fit their managements toward more success.

In conclusion, the main practice is to find ways to prevent employee turnover in fast food restaurants, such as fair pay, reasonable schedules, provide proper training,etc (suggestions from the article)
