McDonald's employees file lawsuit claiming they're working in unsafe conditions

Five McDonald's employees and four of their family members have filed a lawsuit in Illinois that claims the Chicago-based company didn't provide workers with adequate protections against the coronavirus.

The lawsuit, which is seeking class action status, was filed Tuesday in Cook County with the goal of having an Illinois state court issue an injunction that would force McDonald's to require face coverings for customers, inform employees of co-workers who test positive for COVID-19, and prevent workers from having to reuse masks.

It also claims that employees were not given an adequate amount of hand sanitizer, gloves and masks and were not told by superiors when a co-worker tested positive for the virus.

McDonald's said in a statement to TODAY that a press release by the Service Employees International Union outlining the lawsuit contains "inaccurate characterizations" and that it has provided adequate protective equipment and safety protocols.

Doesn't Moscow Mitch want to FIX that problem?

I certainly hope the people who voted for him notice who he really represents, as the Republican Death Cult marches along for the sake of the Captains of Industry, people be damned!
