Federal lawsuit accuses Owego McDonald’s of safety failures, retaliation

Former employees of a McDonald's franchise in the Village of Owego have filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging safety failures, retaliation and other violations. A lawsuit filed on Nov. 9 alleges that the franchisee company that owns the McDonald’s at 29 Hickories Park Road in Owego kept employees working through carbon dioxide leaks and fire-safety failures, failed to pay overtime and wages for all hours worked, retaliated against employees who raised safety and wage concerns and refused to accommodate a manager’s disabilities, allegedly forcing her out of her job. The initial complaint names Mac-Clark Restaurants, Inc., a McDonald's franchisee company that owns more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants across New York including the Owego location that employed the three former employees who are suing.

Former employees Savanna Tuttle, Hailey Swancott and Victoria Tiesi, represented by attorney Megan Quattlebaum, are seeking unpaid wages, back pay, front pay, lost benefits and compensatory, punitive and statutory damages. In a statement, Quattlebaum said they are looking forward to "holding Mac-Clark accountable in court." "Our complaint sets out that Mac-Clark treated the safety and the paychecks of its
