Observations

Hundreds of current and former McDonald’s employees in the UK are taking legal action over claims of workplace harassment and bullying, as reported by Business Insider.

According to law firm Leigh Day, over 700 workers from 450 locations, all aged 19 or younger during their employment, have joined the proceedings. This follows a July 2023 BBC investigation which revealed over 100 allegations of sexual assault, harassment, racism, and bullying at McDonald’s. Since then, 160 additional individuals have come forward with similar claims.
