All McDonald's outlets across Britain have been warned that franchise owners could face legal action if they fail to protect their workers from sexual abuse. Following a BBC investigation exposing claims of a toxic culture of sexual assault and harassment, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has notified all 1,400 branches that they must meet their legal obligations or risk enforcement measures.

The fast-food giant is now under intense scrutiny as these disturbing claims emerge, raising concerns over workplace safety and corporate accountability.
