In the U.K., current and former McDonald's workers are rallying to speak out about a "toxic culture of sexual assault, harassment, racism and bullying," as reported by BBC, which has been investigating the working conditions at McDonald's for months. During their investigation, the publication found ten specific instances of harassment and abuse, while workers allege that managers often downplay the complaints or, in some cases, actually instigate the harassment.
"Multiple workers told us that McDonald's managers at the outlets across the U.K. were responsible for the harassment and assaults," the BBC reported, while former worker who went by Emily said that "it's the expectation that if you work at McDonald's you will be harassed."
