“…(one plaintiff)Â worked at the restaurant from 1999 to February of 2012 and she complained to the restaurant’s owner about the manager’s 
use of “racial slurs in the workplace”…The manager also directed racist “pet names” of his own creation toward her…The lawsuit charges the manager used derogatory terms and slurs as part of a “vicious regime of racial and sexual harassment” at the restaurant on Canal Street, and it says “no effective action was taken to stop it.”
Two former employees of a McDonald’s restaurant in Mulberry have filed a federal lawsuit, accusing a manager of creating a hostile work environment. The women allege they were retaliated against after making complaints known to the restaurant’s owner. Cowles’ hours were drastically reduced, and she was left with “no choice” but to quit her job when the manager’s behavior continued, the lawsuit states.
Potts went on maternity leave, and when she attempted to return to work, she was informed “there was no job for her, despite the nearly perpetual turnover of employees at the restaurant,” according to the lawsuit.
