McDonald’s To Slash Hours By 10% Due To Labor Shortage
Americans craving a Big Mac or chicken nuggets might be in for a shock as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 leaves many US McDonald’s restaurants short-staffed and forced to reduce hours.
Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s CEO, told Fox Businesses the company is limiting operations at individual stores to address labor shortages due to a rise in COVID infections. Some locations might reduce hours of operations by as much as 10% to help with the labor shortage.
