EEOC-McDonald's mediation agreement
EEOC and McDonald's USA, LLC today signed a "Regional Universal Agreement to Mediate" to informally resolve workplace disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) prior to an EEOC investigation or potential litigation when a charge of discrimination is filed with the federal agency in McDonald’s Atlanta Region. Illinois-based McDonald’s owns and operates a number of restaurants in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, which will be covered by the agreement. [EEOC Press Release]
One of the advantages of this agreement appears to be that the EEOC web site now contains the following language:
McDonald's USA, LLC is the leading foodservice provider in the United States serving a variety of wholesome foods made from quality ingredients to millions of customers every day. More than 80 percent of McDonald's 13,700 U.S. restaurants are independently owned and operated by local franchisees. For more information about McDonald's visit www.mcdonalds.com.
And now you can read about wholesome foods at Ross' Employment Law Blog.
