McDonald’s faces new abuse claims despite promises of change
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 7:01 PM
Recent allegations from McDonald's employees reveal ongoing issues of harassment and unsafe work environments in the fast-food chain. Over 300 incidents have been reported to the UK equality watchdog since last year's commitments from McDonald's to improve working conditions. Despite these commitments, workers have reported inappropriate behavior from managers and a 'toxic' workplace culture. A range of legal actions is being initiated by former workers, further complicating the company's public image and legal standing. The UK equality watchdog plans to take stronger actions against McDonald's, while the company continues to assert its commitment to safety and training.
