McDonald's says it won't lobby on minimum wage

McDonald’s Corporation has told the National Restaurant Association, the top industry lobbying group, that it won’t participate in any lobbying against the federal minimum wage.

“Going forward, McDonald’s Corporation will not use our resources, including its lobbyists or staff, to oppose minimum wage increases at the federal state or local levels,” said Genna Gent, McDonald’s vice president of government relations, in a letter Tuesday to the association, of which it is a member.
