McDonald's is facing its first strike in the UK as workers at Cambridge and Crayford, south-east London, began the 24-hour action at midnight. A union called it a "brave" move by low-paid staff.
The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union said staff want a wage of at least £10 an hour and more secure jobs.
Ian Hodson, national president of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU), said: "We fully support the historic decision by these brave workers to stand up and fight back against McDonald's - a company that has let them down one too many times. For far too long, workers in fast food restaurants such as McDonald's have had to deal with poor working conditions, drastic cuts to employee hours, and even bullying in the workplace - viewed by many as a punishment for joining a union."
