McDonald’s workers plan strike over harassment

-

Emboldened by the #MeToo movement, McDonald’s workers have voted to stage a one-day strike next week at restaurant­s in 10 cities in hopes of pressuring management to take stronger steps against on-the-job sexual harassment. Organizers say it will be the first multistate strike in the U.S. specifical­ly targeting sexual harassment. Organizers said the strike would target multiple restaurant­s, but not every local McDonald’s, in each of the 10 cities, none of which are in the Northeast.
