Today we found out that McDonald’s is prepared to push our peaceful community to the limit in its ruthless pursuit of a store that no one wants. So as to get around the fact that unions affiliated with the Victorian Trades Hall Council are refusing to allow workers on site due to serious safety concerns, McDonald’s have now contracted a “non-union” demolition company that are prepared to start demolition next week.
It is our opinion that McDonald’s want to demolish the existing buildings prior to being back in the Supreme Court next Thursday. It is a low act that will endanger workers and the community. McDonald’s have snubbed their nose at the community and now it appears they want to snub their nose at safety conscious unions.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Our PR team is in the process of alerting the media who will no doubt be asking hard questions of McDonald’s, the builder Lanskey and the demolition company B.R. Demolitions. What you can do is let Bernie Rafferty and his team at B.R. Demolitions know that they are about to make a very bad move and should respect the community’s wishes.
Contact details for B.R. Demolitions can be found here:

You can leave a message on their website or call any of the listed numbers. You can also e-mail the Director Bernie Rafferty at info@brdemo.com.au
If you are tweeting include the hashtag #badmovebrdemo and of course #tecoma
Remember, be professional and firm in your opinion. Make your story personal and under no circumstances make threats or intimidation, we’ll leave that tactic to professionals like McDonald’s
If there is one thing this community has done well is getting our message out far and wide. Share this message and let B.R.Demolitions know, that like McDonald’s they too are Unwelcome and Unwanted.
