Overview
No one should have to experience sexual harassment, abuse, or a hostile work environment – especially not young people just starting their working lives. Sadly, many McDonald’s workers, some as young as 17, have reported serious incidents of sexual misconduct, harassment, bullying, and unsafe workplace conditions.
Following significant media investigations and calls for accountability, McDonald’s acknowledged failures in protecting its staff, saying it had “fallen short” and it “deeply apologised”. This apology doesn’t compensate victims. But there is a way to seek justice and compensation.
If you were aged 19 or under and experienced sexual harassment, assault, bullying, intimidation, or any form of mistreatment while working at McDonald’s, we are monitoring the situation closely. Register your interest and we’ll keep you updated if one of our regulated UK partner law firms is able to take this claim forward.
