McDonald's slammed over 'abhorrent abuse of power' in sex for shifts scandal As more than 700 teenagers sue McDonald's over harassment claims, a leading legal expert has slammed the fast food giant for its "abhorrent abuse of power".
The workers who were 19 or younger when working at McDonald’s have instructed lawyers to take on the company, accusing them of discrimination, homophobia, racism, ableism and harassment - with some teens claiming they were asked for sexual favours by their managers in exchange for shifts.
"McDonald’s was made aware of sexual harassment claims last year, and vowed to do something about it.
This is a clear abuse of power, and is evidently not being adequately addressed within McDonald’s.
"McDonald’s needs to stop paying lip service and start actually doing something to prevent this.
