LONDON – The head of McDonald’s in Britain apologised after the BBC on Tuesday reported allegations of sexual misconduct, racism and bullying by staff at the fast-food giant.
More than 100 former and current workers of the US company made the allegations, the state broadcaster said after it began investigating in February. This was after McDonald’s signed a legally binding agreement with Britain’s Equality and Human Rights Commission , pledging to protect staff from sexual harassment.
“Every one of the 177,000 employees in McDonald’s UK deserves to work in a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace,” UK chief executive Alistair Macrow told the BBC in response to the allegations.He added that “all proven breaches of our code of conduct will be met with the most severe measures we can legally impose, up to and including dismissal”.
