McDonald's Faces New Whistleblower Lawsuit
- 4 years ago
On Friday, Maria E. Ruiz Bonilla filed a whistleblower retaliation suit against McDonald's.
Ruiz claims she was fired after protesting safety violations at the chain during the pandemic.
She said the company lacked masks and cleaning supplies.
"I was afraid, of course. I was thinking about losing my job," Ruiz told Business Insider.
"But, at the same time, my fear of getting sick with COVID and dying was bigger."
In response to the lawsuit, McDonald's said Ruiz allegations are untrue and cannot be confirmed.
