AMANDA PARKER
Fashion blogging
RITA MORRIS/Daily
LSA freshman Kelly Guerin enjoys the warm weather
playing catch on Palmer Field on Monday.
SPRING THAW
Two months ago, Business
sophomore Amanda Parker found-
ed “Mittens and Manolos,” a fash-
ion blog dedicated to showcasing
her personal style with influence
from her hometown, Alexandria,
Va. Looking to expand her content,
Parker plans to review runway
trends for the upcoming summer
season.
What inspired you to start
your blog?
I’ve always been really inter-
ested in fashion and since the
blogging scene in the fashion
industry has become so big, I’ve
thought about starting my own
blog for a while. As I’ve become
more serious about wanting to
pursue a career in fashion, I fig-
ured there was no better time
than right now to launch a blog
and start getting more involved
in the industry.
What is the focus of your
blog?
Currently, my blog focuses on
my personal style, which I would
describe as classic with a bohe-
mian twist. I want to expand it
soon to include more content
about seasonal runway trends. I
love watching and seeing pictures
of the runway shows at fashion
week, so I think it would be cool
to incorporate content about that.
I want my blog to be a source of
inspiration for people looking for
new ideas, so updating content
and introducing new topics is
important.
How does being in Ross
School of Business give you
a unique perspective on the
fashion industry?
I think being in Ross has
helped me think of my blog from
an entrepreneurial perspective
and consider how I can develop
it from a business standpoint. I
am always looking for ways to
increase my viewer base, so cre-
ating marketing strategy is really
important in getting new readers
and subscribers.

McDonald’s employees
detail burns, job hazards
Workers across the
country campaign for
unionization and
$15 an hour pay
NEW YORK (AP) — McDon-
ald’s workers in 19 cities have filed
complaints over burns from pop-
ping grease, a lack of protective
equipment and other workplace
hazards, according to labor orga-
nizers.
The complaints are the latest
move in an ongoing campaign to
win pay of $15 an hour and union-
ization for fast-food workers by
publicly pressuring McDonald’s to
come to the bargaining table. The
push is being spearheaded by the
Service Employees International
Union and began more than two
years ago. Already, it has included
protests around the country and
lawsuits alleging workers weren’t
given their rightful pay.
The burns and other haz-
ards were detailed in complaints
announced Monday and filed
with U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Administration in recent
weeks. Workers cite a persistent
lack of gloves for handling hot
equipment and say they’ve been
burned while cleaning grills that
have to be kept on. One worker
says he was told by a manager to,
“put mayonnaise on it, you’ll be
good.”
The complaints also detail a
lack of training for handling
hot fryers and slipping on wet
floors.
A representative for the Labor
Department, Laura McGinnis,
confirmed the complaints were
received by OSHA but said the
agency does not discuss ongoing
investigations.
In a statement, McDonald’s
Corp. said the company and its
independent
franchisees
are
committed to providing safe
working conditions for employ-
ees, and will review the allega-
tions. “It is important to note
that these complaints are part
of a larger strategy orchestrated
by activists targeting our brand
and designed to generate media
coverage,”
Heidi
Barker
Sa
Shekhem, a McDonald’s spokes-
woman, said in the statement.
The complaints extend a cen-
tral theme of the “Fight for $15”
campaign, which has been to
hold McDonald’s accountable
for working conditions at its
franchised locations.
That would ease the way for
worker negotiations and union-
ization across the company’s
more than 14,000 U.S. res-
taurants, the vast majority of
which are run by franchisees.
McDonald’s and other fast-food
chains, including Burger King
and Wendy’s, have said they’re
not responsible for employment
decisions at franchised restau-
rants.
The matter has reached the
general counsel of the National
Labor Relations Board, which
said late last year that McDon-
ald’s could be named as a joint
employer
in
complaints
by
workers. Those complaints have
yet to be heard, but whichever
side loses is expected to appeal
the decision.
Kendall
Fells,
organizing
director for Fight for $15, said
the injuries at franchised and
company-owned
restaurants
mostly came about because
understaffing and employees
being told to work too quickly —
both of which he said were the
result of a computer system that
tracks sales and staffing met-
rics.
The computer system was also
cited in lawsuits last year that
allege “wage theft” by McDon-
ald’s and its franchisees for the
denial of breaks and overtime
pay. That system has been key
in the argument by labor groups
that McDonald’s exerts enough
control over franchised restau-
rants to be considered a joint
employer.
European powers, Iran
talk nuclear agreement
Little progress made
towards finding a
solution to
weapons problem
BRUSSELS (AP) — European
powers and Iran made little
progress late Monday toward
reaching an agreement to end
the
standoff
over Tehran’s
nuclear program as an end-of-
March deadline closes in.
“We’re still making progress
but there is a long way to go if
we’re going to get there,” Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary Philip
Hammond said, after talks in
Brussels with his French, Ger-
man and Iranian counterparts
plus European Union foreign
policy chief Federica Mogh-
erini.
The talks were aimed at nar-
rowing gaps in the positions
between Iran and the world
powers, as part of a 15 month
negotiating process that could
see Iran freeze its nuclear pro-
gram for at least a decade in
exchange for the gradual lifting
of international sanctions.
Iran says the program is
aimed at generating electric-
ity and at medical research,
but many in the West fear the
Islamic republic is trying to
covertly build atomic weapons.
“It’s always useful to talk but
we, the French, want a solid
deal,” said French Foreign Min-
ister Laurent Fabius. “Certain
points are yet to be resolved, we
hope we will be able to resolve
them but as long as it’s not done,
it’s not done.”
Mogherini, who is negotiat-
ing with Iran on behalf of the
world’s five nuclear powers
and Germany, said that all sides
were aware how important it
is to seal a good deal and that
it was not clear whether “a
technical solution” to fill the
remaining gaps can be found.
“I see the elements for a deal
to be reached but I still see the
gaps that need to be filled,” she
said.
Ahead of the meeting, Ger-
man Foreign Minister Frank-
Walter Steinmeier urged his
international partners and Iran
to “seize this opportunity” of
talks in Brussels and in Swit-
zerland this week to finally
clinch an elusive deal.
The world powers and Iran
have
set
an
end-of-March
deadline to reach a framework
accord on the way ahead.
Some officials have said
persistent
differences
mean
negotiators could settle for an
announcement
that
they’ve
made enough progress to jus-
tify further talks.
Senior officials from the
world powers will continue
negotiations with Iran in Lau-
sanne, Switzerland on Wednes-
day.
Iranian
Foreign
Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif, who
represented Iran in Brussels,
will also hold several days of
discussions with U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry in Switzer-
land this week, as momentum
builds in the nuclear negotia-
tions.
