10 McDonald’s Workers File Sexual Harassment Complaints

HeadlineMay 23, 2018

Ten women who work at McDonald’s have filed sexual harassment complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, accusing male co-workers and supervisors of groping them, propositioning them for sex and making lewd sexual comments. The women also say their supervisors ignored their complaints about sexual harassment or retaliated against the women for reporting the abuse. Meanwhile, Southern Baptist leader Paige Patterson has been removed as president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, after thousands of people signed a petition demanding his ouster over his previous comments that objectified and demeaned women, including saying female seminarians should work hard to look attractive and that women abused by their husbands should stay with the abusive men.
