Glad we don't have this kind of system in the US.
"The dismissal was too severe a measure," the district court in Leeuwarden, in the north of the Netherlands, said in a written judgment.
"It is just a slice of cheese."
A court can overturn a firing when an employee steals? Wow!
A written warning would have been a more appropriate punishment, said the court, which ordered the fast-food chain to pay the worker the salary for the remaining five months of her contract - a total of 4,265.47 euros (£3,660).
They had to pay back pay?! Wow!!
The decision came days after the fast-food chain reported an increase in net profits by almost 25 per cent in the last quarter of 2009.
And WHY is that even important?

Even my bunlets are on notice that they can be let go at any time without prior cause.

£3,660
Which, at current exchange rates, comes out to $5909, or $1080 per month.
DUmmies are lining up for these jobs, just so they can put a 5-cent slice of cheese on a burger and then sit on their asses for a few months.

<=== waiting for Øbummer to come out and say that "McDonalds acted stupidly", and then invite the fired employee and Ronald McDonald to the White House for a beer summit, to figure out which was the bigger clown...
