McDonald's is facing new sexual harassment accusations
Last year, a number of McDonald’s employees had filed similar charges against the company, and in September McDonald’s employees in ten cities to draw attention to sexual harassment in their workplace.
TIME’s UP is demanding that McDonald’s—whose system totals 14,000 locations and some 800,000 employees—enact training for the managers and employees of its restaurants, ensure employees’ complaints are addressed without retaliation, and adopt greater transparency about harassment and how it is dealt with.
“Every day, workers are forced to choose between getting a paycheck or speaking up about their abuse,” said Sharyn Tejani, director of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund as part of aon the matter. “When they report harassment, workers are often fired or have their shifts cut—and since nothing is done to stop it, the scourge continues.”
McDonald's declined to comment on the latest accusations, but points to a May 19 letter to “Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi – a vocal supporter of the McDonald’s workers – written by Easterbrook, in which he insisted McDonald’s has taken serious steps to address workers’ grievances over the past several months.
“We have enhanced our policy so that it more clearly informs employees of their rights, more clearly defines sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation, and provides examples of what unacceptable behavior looks like,” Easterbrook wrote. “It also underscores how employees can report a complaint if they do not feel comfortable addressing it with a manager., which he said had been printed and shipped to all restaurant locations.
