For over 4 years, we have been fighting to hold McDonalds accountable for driving wages and working standards down. They pay poverty wages, often are perpetrators of wage theft and turn a blind eye to the needs of their workers.
Sexual harassment is widespread at fast-food companies like McDonald’s, which, too often, turn a blind eye to their workers’ complaints. Forty-percent of women working in the fast-food industry have been sexually harassed on the job – that’s 60% higher than other industries on average.
Women who speak out about the problem often face negative consequences from their employers, so many women try to confront the harassment on their own, or, even worse, feel that they have to put up with harassment to keep their jobs.
Workers and allies will be silent no more.
On Thursday we will be joining workers nationwide for a press conference about this serious issue. We will be meeting at 11:30 and beginning the press conference at 12.
