McDonald’s Corp. says it’s enhancing training and offering a new hotline for workers in response to mounting allegations of sexual harassment.
On Tuesday, the labor group Fight for $15 filed 25 sexual harassment charges against McDonald’s with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund are providing legal support.
It’s the third time in three years that the group has filed harassment charges on behalf of McDonald’s workers. Some workers say they were demoted or fired when they complained about harassment.
