据外媒报道,美国维吉尼亚州一群麦当劳(McDonald's Corp)离职员工,控告麦当劳餐厅对员工种族歧视。麦当劳尚未立即做出回应。
根据这群员工22日提出的民事诉讼,维吉尼亚州的麦当劳员工声称“不时遭受餐厅最高层主管的种族歧视。原告声称他们遭解雇的原因在于,经营餐厅的Soweva公司希望减少非裔美国人人数,并且雇用更多白人。
部分原文报道如下:
A group of former McDonald's workers from Virginia are suing their stores for racial discrimination and sexual harassment -- and they're taking the rare step of naming the world's foremost fast-food company as a defendant in the suit.
The 10 plaintiffs -- nine of whom are African-American, and one of whom is Hispanic -- say they were wrongfully fired last year and replaced with mostly white workers because their managers believed there had been ”too many black people [working] in the store.“ The lawsuit (viewable here) alleges that women were harassed and groped and that minorities were subjected to racist taunts. It also claims that managers referred to one restaurant as ”the ghetto store.“
