John –
Two coworkers at McDonald's made my life hell.
One of them made lewd comments about my 1-year-old daughter. The other repeatedly sexually harassed me and groped me.
When I spoke up, McDonald's cut MY hours. I couldn't feed my daughter or afford child care.
Enough is enough. Today, we're filing a lawsuit on behalf of 5,000 women like me who've worked at McDonald's here in Florida. We're demanding McDonald's compensate us for what we've gone through, and that they take steps to stop and prevent sexual harassment in their restaurants.
Sign the petition to stand with us and demand McDonald's stop and prevent sexual harassment.
McDonald's culture of harassment is out of control.
Cooks and cashiers are regularly harassed. When we report it, we're dismissed, made fun of, get our hours cut, or are forced to quit.
And when we've demanded McDonald's meet with us to make a plan to stamp out harassment… they've ignored us again and again.
That's why we're taking McDonald's to court. To win the safety, dignity, and respect we deserve – and inspire workers across the nation to fight for what they deserve too.
Tell McDonald's: NO one is above the law – stop and prevent sexual harassment NOW.
In Unity,
