McDonald’s Workers Give Them McLawsuit
Workers allege that McDonald’s has abused workers by not paying for overtime, forcing them to work off the clock, and striking hour off their time cards.
The suits were announced in a conference call led by the workers’ lawyers and organizers of the union-backed campaign to raise fast food wages across the country.
“We’ve uncovered several unlawful schemes, but they all share a common purpose — to drive labor costs down by stealing wages from McDonald’s workers,” said Michael Rubin of Altshuler Berzon LLP, an attorney who represents California workers.
