McDonald’s is facing a fresh legal battle launched by the fast food workers union for allegedly refusing to grant entitled rest breaks to 250,000 employees across Australia.
The legal claim seeks $250 million in compensation plus penalties against 400 McDonald’s operators. It is the 16th in a string of other existing Federal Court claims the union has against McDonald’s and 14 franchisees. “McDonald’s believes its restaurants complied with applicable instruments, provided rest breaks to employees and were consistent with historic working arrangements,” the company said in a statement.
