McDonald's abuse: MeToo hasn’t helped these teenage workers
McDonald's workers are so young that most of them were at school when the MeToo movement burst into life. Here we are, six years on, and teenage McDonald's workers are telling us that behind the counter they're facing a hostile environment. The question then is this: if they can ensure that a burger tastes the same whether you're in Carlisle or Canterbury why can't McDonald's ensure that every restaurant is imposing a zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment? In a statement McDonald's told the BBC there was "Simply no place for harassment, abuse, or discrimination" at the company. Our interviewee, 18-year-old Shelby from Berkshire, gave her verdict: If McDonald's was really serious about sexual harassment, they'd do something about it.
