Hundreds of McDonald's workers have filed new harassment claims, alleging managers engaged in inappropriate behavior, including asking about sexual history and touching young employees.
McDonald's is facing a ' sex for shifts ' scandal as 700 workers lodge fresh harassment claims against the fast food giant. Managers are accused of asking teenage staff members about their sexual history, inappropriately touching young employees during shifts, and 'preying on young female workers'. Claire, using a pseudonym, worked at a West Midlands branch until May 2023 when she was forced to quit due to uncomfortable behavior. She said: 'You don't expect that to happen.
It was totally inappropriate.' This comes a year after McDonald's promised to improve behavior across its chain restaurants. A McDonald's spokesperson said: 'Ensuring the 168,000 people that work in McDonald's restaurants are safe is the most important responsibility for both us and our franchisees, and we have undertaken extensive work over the last year to ensure we have industry-leading practices in place to support this priority.' The company added: 'Our relentless focus on eliminating all forms of harassment at McDonald's is led by a newly created team and informed by the experience and guidance of external experts. 'We are confident that we are taking significant and important steps to tackle the unacceptable behaviours facing every organisation.
