据外媒报道，近日快餐连锁店麦当劳（McDonald's）和温迪（Wendy's）的员工聚集在工作的连锁店外抗议，要求这两家公司结束“零小时合同制”。团结工会（Unite Union）表示，不排除采取进一步行动的可能。
全球连锁快餐汉堡王（Burger King）已经同意取消“零小时合同制”；稍早，餐饮品牌集团（Restaurant Brands）旗下的肯德基（KFC）、必胜客（Pizza Hut）、星巴克（Starbuck）和小卡尔（Carls Jr）等连锁快餐，也都已经同意提供员工的工时保证。所以剩下的麦当劳和温迪就成了众矢之的。
部分原文报道如下：
Restaurant Brands, which owns the KFC, Pizza Hut, Carl's Jr and Starbucks chains in New Zealand, has committed to end zero hour contracts by July this year in a new collective agreement negotiated with Unite Union.
Unite has 2,000 members at the chain and is recommending the new terms to members in a vote to be held over the next week or so.
The Unite bargaining team was unanimous in its support for the proposal which promises staff at least 80% of the average hours will be guaranteed using a three month rolling average of hours worked up to a maximum of 32 hours a week.
