McDonald’s employees sue for coronavirus negligence

Published 3 Min Read

Five McDonald’s employees, and four of their family members, filed a class action lawsuit this week alleging that the fast-food chain wasn’t providing employees with necessary protective equipment from coronavirus.

The employees involved in the suit aren’t seeking financial compensation; the suit asks that McDonald’s be required to provide employees with enough gloves, masks and hand sanitizer, in addition to training on how to prevent the spread of the virus. McDonald’s corporate office created a 59-page long coronavirus response guide for their workforce, which was shared with the Wall Street Journal.
