McDonald's Franchise Hit with Harrassment Suit
The EEOC has brought a sexual harrassment, retaliation and hostile work environment action against a Colorado McDonald's franchise, alleging that male managers and co-workers at the outlet repeatedly engaged in sexual acts targeted at a number of female employees. This article in the Durango Herald details some of the more egregious episodes, which occurred in late 2003 and early 2004, when the two victims named in the suit were 17 and 18 years old. The action seeks money damages and an injunction barring further violations and mandating sexual harrassment training for male managers and employees.
