Labor organizers claimed to have filed sexual harassment charges against McDonald’s as a part of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. While the EEOC is not permitted to confirm that any allegations have been made unless the agency itself files a lawsuit, the sexual harassment claims would be part of a broader push for better working conditions. The labor organizers are especially aiming for higher pay, as reflected in their Fight for $15 campaign. They are also pushing for the McDonald’s Corp. to acknowledge their significant power over individual franchises.
