After it was announced that 25 McDonald’s employees had filed sexual harassment charges and complaints against McDonald’s on Tuesday, Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi called for the fast-food chain to implement “meaningful changes” so “no other worker has to go through what they did.”
“Padma was proud to stand alongside the brave workers who spoke out against sexual harassment,” a spokesperson for Lakshmi told Newsweek on Thursday. “She hopes this pressure will result in meaningful changes at McDonald’s so that no other worker has to go through what they did.” Lakshmi addressed the crowd at the rally, saying,"We can't be happy about any meal at McDonald's until this issue is resolved," she said."We want a program with real consequences for offenders at any McDonald's franchises or company-owned establishments put into place now.
In a statement to Newsweek, a spokesperson for McDonald's said the company "has always had an unyielding commitment to providing a safe and respectful work environment for all."
When females get sexually harassed/touched in the work place they tend to freeze in shock and felt ultimately uncomfortable and in despair!Worse is when it’s their boss and not other employees/colleagues.That’s why more women are willing to come out n drag the perpetrator down!
