• McDonald’s strengthen and enforce its zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment;
• McDonald’s hold mandatory trainings for managers and employees so we know what sexual harassment is, what our rights are and how to report these experiences to the company
• McDonald’s establish a clear reporting system when we experience sexual harassment that includes prompt investigation of our claims
• McDonald’s protect workers from further harassment after we report these experiences
• McDonald’s respect workers’ right to organize in its stores
