This information has come to light as part of a lawsuit that 17 plaintiffs, all Chicago-based McDonald’s employees, are filing against the company for failure to minimize workplace violence.&nbsp;The suit alleges that, as a landlord, McDonald’s Corp. has failed to design stores in such a way as to mitigate potential customer-on-employee violence, and has also failed to provide property safety and conflict resolution training for employees. In August, the brand announced <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mcdonald-s-launches-new-anti-bullying-and-anti-violence-training-program-2710884">a new anti-violence training program</a>, but the 17 employees claim that they have yet to receive any such materials.&nbsp;McDonald’s is in the midst of rather expensive renovations in a majority of its stores, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/04/mcdonalds-to-add-self-order-kiosks-to-1000-stores-each-quarter.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=no-more-burger-brawls-mcdonalds-employees-sue-for-company-failure-to-mediate-workplace-violence-2711690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">implementing self-serve kiosks</a> in nearly two-thirds of U.S. restaurants already. This suit aims to stop the renovations until a safer design plan is created.&nbsp;This is not a great time for the McDonald’s brand image, as the well-known burger brand has found its name in headlines amid <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mcdonalds-new-lawsuit-proves-the-brand-may-have-a-long-road-ahead-2711596#stories">sexual harassment suits</a> and <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mcdonald-s-ceo-steve-easterbrook-fired-over-relationship-with-employee-2711491">the ousting of former CEO Steve Easterbrook</a> over a relationship with an employee last month. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/18/mcdonalds-new-ceo-invites-employee-feedback-stands-by-companys-growth-plan.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=no-more-burger-brawls-mcdonalds-employees-sue-for-company-failure-to-mediate-workplace-violence-2711690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">According to CNBC</a>, new CEO Chris Kempczinski made a company-wide announcement asking for employee feedback, and it looks like workers and franchisees alike are taking action on some long-held grievances.&nbsp; Read the full story in CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/21/mcdonalds-workers-file-lawsuit-to-address-workplace-violence.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=no-more-burger-brawls-mcdonalds-employees-sue-for-company-failure-to-mediate-workplace-violence-2711690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.</a>
