A documentary
film of the McLibel Trial has been shown in several countries.
The term "McJob" was added to
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary in 2003,
[33] over the objections of McDonald's. In an open letter to Merriam-Webster,
Jim Cantalupo, former
CEO of McDonald's, denounced the definition as a "slap in the face" to all restaurant employees, and stated that "a more appropriate definition of a 'McJob' might be 'teaches responsibility.'" Merriam-Webster responded that "we stand by the accuracy and appropriateness of our definition."
[34] McJob is defined by Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary as "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement".
