After a Black girl and a Hispanic boy were fatally shot earlier this year in Chicago, Chris Kempczinski wrote in a text that their 'parents failed those kids,' prompting backlash.
"Not taking the time to think about this from their viewpoint was wrong, and lacked the empathy and compassion I feel for these families," he said in a message to employees last week."This is a lesson that I will carry with me."
McDonald's declined to comment Tuesday about the meeting or the letter by community groups and unions. Baltazar Enriquez, the president of the Little Village Community Council, a nonprofit organization that signed onto the letter to Kempczinski, said he wants the CEO to publicly support policies that benefit all front-line employees, particularly those who are earning minimum wage and seeking to unionize.
"If he wants to get personal, we're going to get personal," Enriquez said."We will shut down this McDonald's."
