Ten female Mcdonald's current and former employees have filed sexual harassment complaints against the company over the past week. One worker in Chicago said that a McDonald's supervisor at the franchise store retaliated against her by reducing her hours when she reported instances of sexual harassment by management. McDonald's said in a statement on Tuesday the company takes sexual harassment allegations "very seriously." McDonald's Corporation takes allegations of sexual harassment very seriously and are confident our independent franchisees who own and operate approximately 90 percent of our 14,000 U.S. restaurants will do the same," the statement said. Fight for $15 has set up a hotline for McDonald's employees who want to have their allegations reviewed by lawyers.
