Leigh Day is seeking compensation from the US fast-food giant on behalf of current and former staff who were aged under 20 when working at McDonald’s.
It follows a BBC investigation in July 2023 highlighting the testimonies of those affected.
“Any incident of misconduct and harassment is unacceptable and subject to rapid and thorough investigation and action,“ a McDonald’s spokesperson said Tuesday.
Alistair Macrow, chief executive of McDonald’s UK and Ireland, told a parliamentary committee in November 2023 that he was “absolutely determined to root out any of these behaviours”.
Macrow is set to face questions from British MPs on Tuesday over the separate issue of employment rights.
“My manager said if I can’t deal with it, I should just leave the job,“ he added.
McDonald’s UK faced harassment claims in 2019 when the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union alleged that more than 1,000 female employees had been victims of sexual harassment and abuse.
