Does that standard of fairness go both ways? If a business is losing money should the employees then be required to work for free?

Most McDonald's restaurant workers worldwide are employees of local franchise companies which are far less profitable. The main McDonald's corporation is just a supplier for them.

Perhaps not for free, but it's not unheard of for labor unions to negotiate temporary lower wages in order to try to save the viability of a business that they want to keep working for.
