Fast-food giant McDonald's hit with lawsuit alleging a 'toxic work culture' and 'pervasive sexual harassment' of female employees under its Golden Arches.

Fast-food giant McDonald's was hit with a lawsuit alleging a"toxic work culture" and"pervasive sexual harassment" of female employees under its Golden Arches.

Ries said a swing manager she worked with at the McDonald's franchise would routinely call her a"b****" or"whore" and more,"in front of multiple other co-workers, including the General Manager," according to the complaint. Ries said that she would respond to the harassment by begging the manager to stop, including telling him to"leave me alone,” and “do not touch me,” according to the complaint."He responded by yelling at her and threatening to get her fired."

The restaurant where the alleged abuse against Ries took place is owned by MLMLM Corporation which could not be reached in repeated attempts by ABC News for comment on Wednesday. A phone number for the franchise was disconnected on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported. In May 2018, McDonalds workers in nine cities filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging rampant sexual misconduct.

And you no in room

Not only McDonald’s; but also bars, night clubs, and all places where there is intense food serving Imagine you’re a conservative girl and you work at a sport bar where touching female employees by male employees is a norm you should comply to otherwise you’re deemed hostile.

We might be interested if ABC were credible.

Should be sued for not paying a living wage to boot.

Way to go after one random McDonald's in Michigan with a weirdo manager, there ABC. Any news on Epstein yet, or is child rape only newsworthy if it comes with a side of fries?

Have u seen most the McDonald's restaurants they r like homeless shelters. An u think they have moral standards about how to treat employees each other or even females

They got what they deserved. Didn't have any business having a place full of filthy individuals sexually harassing eachother in work environments. It's already bad enough they serve nasty food on the menu.

'Toxic work culture...' take a few anecdotes, throw them in front of a jury, and collect millions in attorney's fees. What a racket.
