    DAY OF SOLIDARITY
    WITH McDONALD'S WORKERS

    Sat October 12th 1996

    This day marks the fourth anniversary of the death of Mark Hopkins, a worker electrocuted at McDonald's Manchester store. The Support Network for McDonald's Workers together with the McLibel Support Campaign are again calling a countrywide (and international) Day of Solidarity With McDonald's Workers on that day, following last year's successful event.

    WE CALL FOR LEAFLETING AT LOCAL STORES - leaflets available from McLibel Support Campaign, c/o 5 Caledonian Road, London N1 9DX, Tel/Fax 0171 713 1269 (send donation).

    "I want every McDonald's worker to stand up for their rights, which is why I am backing this campaign 100%. In this way, Mark's death will not have been in vain."

    - Maureen Hopkins, Mark's mother.
