More than 50 former McDonald’s franchisees are suing the fast-food giant for racial discrimination.
Many of the plaintiffs owed money to the company or vendors after they exited the franchise.
The lawsuit claims that the decline in Black franchisees is no mistake. McDonald’s allegedly graded Black-run restaurants unfairly, leading to poor internal reviews and subsequent denials of growth opportunities and better franchising terms. Ferraro called the statement “odd and false,” listing the National Basketball Association and the National Football League as creators of more Black millionaires. He said he plans to cross-examine Kempczinski in court to further explain the comment.
In a video to McDonald’s employees and suppliers about the lawsuit that was viewed by CNBC, Kempczinski reiterated that the company stands for diversity, equity and inclusion and said the lawsuit’s claims have been investigated.
