has agreed to pay $3.75 million to settle a lawsuit claiming it was liable for labor law violations by a California franchisee, marking what lawyers said was the first time the company has settled legal claims by a group of U.S. workers at one of its franchises.
In a filing in U.S. district court in San Francisco on Friday, lawyers representing about 800 employees at five restaurants owned by a single franchisee said Illinois-based McDonald's would pay the workers $1.75 million in back pay and damages and $2 million in legal fees.
And this is just the first settlement. Look for many more. Takes real scumbags to steal from those who work for them. Good enough reason to boycott the bastards..... Yea, yea, I know, a boycott will never work, but at least you stand a better chance of not kicking the bucket prematurely. Also, I like food that even a wino on skid row, in the final stages of malnutrition, might take a passing interest in.
