McDonald's is paying $26 million to settle a class action lawsuit over wage theft. It's the latest development in a string of conflicts between the major restaurant chain and its employees.
The settlement puts an end to a multi-year legal battle between the company and California workers who alleged that McDonald's was skirting overtime payment laws and denying employees timely breaks, among other things. About 38,000 people are represented in the suit, according to a court filing obtained by CNN from the Fight for $15, which advocates for workers' rights.
McDonald's could return $29 million to New Zealand workers after holiday pay errorJust last week, McDonald's agreed to pay what could be tens of millions of dollars to New Zealand employees for miscalculating holiday wages. Other fast food companies have been hit with similar lawsuits over the years, suggesting that the problem extends beyond McDonald's.
