Home Of The Whopper Of Greed

Burger King is not just the home of the Whopper, but it has also been, since 2002, part of the corporate stable of private equity firm Goldman Sachs, which received $10 billion in taxpayer bailout cash last year. Since Goldman Sachs joined the consortium that took over Burger King, the fast-food chain has been cited for dozens of wage-and-hour violations, even as a substantial share of its workforce earns just the minimum wage. Meanwhile, as this Brave New Films video reveals, Goldman Sachs executives earned enough in bonuses last year alone to pay every Burger King employee an extra $18,000. This video launches a Brave New Films campaign that encourages activists to "have it your way with Goldman Sachs."
