Employees allege labor violations

Through seven lawsuits, employees allege that McDonald’s failed to pay overtime, forced work off the clock, denied meal and rest breaks, and required employees to purchase and clean their own uniforms. Workers demand that employees pay back ‘stolen wages’ and stop these practices. The company replies:

McDonald’s and our independent franchisees are committed to undertaking a comprehensive investigation of the allegations and will take any necessary actions as they apply to our respective organizations
