Is this exaggeration or did they actually do this?

The prices are more than doubled over the last 10 years, tripled in some areas. Their prices went up three times faster than inflation.

I think that in the past they have lobbied against minimum wage increases but they pulled their lobbying for it in 2019 and have changed directions. Not that McD's is like a bastion for workers rights or anything, but just looked it up and that's what I found.
