US-MCDONALD-LABOR-DISCRIMINATION

A McDonald's employee holds a sign during a protest outside his workplace on April 9, 2021 in Los Angeles, to demand an end to what they consider workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation, despite numerous attempts to reach a resolution with the franchise owners. - Last month, a report from UCLA and UC Berkeley found that fast food workers in Los Angeles County are "particularly vulnerable" to Covid-19 community transmission, with women and minority workers, who make up the vast majority of jobs, hit hardest, while workers are not protected when they speak out, with some even punished.
