LabourStart and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF) have launched McJobs.org, a website intended to connect McDonald's workers from around the world.

There has been controversy over the term "McJob", which refers to low-paying, contingent work in the service industry. McDonald's objected when Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary added the term in 2003.

The company has since campaigned to change the definition of the word (not the working conditions themselves), to "reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding ... and offers skills that last a lifetime."
