Senior managers at McDonald’s Israel physically harmed young activist workers during strikes and protests. Yaron Sar, an employees’ committee member, was pushed by security guards and the regional director Moshe Dahan during a strike at the Gan Shmuel branch. During a protest march on 7 July 2014, the senior manager violently threw a sign at Vladislav Plahotnik, an employees’ committee member, who had participated in a protest action. Managers poured water on Tom Harari, a union activist, who had participated in a protest outside of the branch where he worked on 17 July 2014.
