Chain is receiving one to two complaints about sexual harassment a week, says UK chief executive
The UK boss of McDonald’s has told MPs that widespread cases of sexual harassment and bullying of workers at its fast food shops are “truly horrific” and that the chain was receiving one to two complaints a week about sexual harassment.
McDonald’s, which has 1,450 outlets and employs close to 180,000 people in the UK, most of them young people under 25, is under huge pressure to stamp out widespread sexual harassment and assault, racism and bullying, after an investigation by the BBC, which spoke to more than 100 current and recent McDonald’s workers, some as young as 17.
