Byron Allen's Allen Media Group Wins Significant Legal Victory in Racial Discrimination-Based Lawsuit Against McDonald's Corporation in U.S. Federal Court Byron Allen's Allen Media Group (AMG) divisions Entertainment Studios Networks Inc. and Weather Group, LLC won a significant legal victory in federal court on September 16, 2022. The AMG lawsuit initially filed on May 20, 2021 against McDonald's Corporation seeks $10 billion in damages for racial discrimination. According to the lawsuit, McDonald's intentionally discriminated against AMG divisions Entertainment Studios and Weather Group through a pattern of racial stereotyping and refusals to contract in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and the California Aruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civil Code § 51.5. On September 16, 2022, defendant McDonald's was denied a Motion to Dismiss by Judge Fernando M. Olguin of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The case will now proceed to trial before a jury in May 2023. Per the lawsuit, of its approximately $1.6 billion annual advertising budget, McDonald's spends less than approximately $5 million each year on African American-owned media, and it has refused to advertise on Entertainment Studios networks or The Weather Channel since Allen acquired the network in 2018. Per the lawsuit, the McDonald's President and CEO Chris Kempczinski makes approximately $11 million per year, which is more than double what McDonald's spends per year on ALL of Black-owned media combined. The lawsuit (case number 2:21-cv-04972-FMO-MAA Entertainment Studios Networks Inc. et al v. McDonald's USA, LLC) alleges that McDonald's refusal to contract is the result of racial stereotyping through McDonald's tiered advertising structure that differentiates on the basis of race. The primary advertising tier for McDonald's is referred to as "general market" and it constitutes the vast majority of McDonald's advertising budget. McDonald's, however, created a separate "African American" tier with a much smaller budget and less-favorable pricing and other terms. McDonald's contracts with a separate ad agency, Burrell Communications, for this African American tier, thereby creating separate and unequal tracks for Black-owned media companies to earn advertising revenue. McDonald's has created a discriminatory environment that is separate but not equal. Aankondiging • Aug 25

Mcdonald's Corporation to Exit from Russia McDonald's Corporation announced it will exit the Russian market and has initiated a process to sell its Russian business. This follows McDonald's announcement on March 8, 2022, that it had temporarily closed restaurants in Russia and paused operations in the market. The humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led McDonald's to conclude that continued ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with McDonald's values. As part of McDonald's decision to exit, the Company is pursuing the sale of its entire portfolio of McDonald's restaurants in Russia to a local buyer. The Company intends to initiate the process of "de-Arching" those restaurants, which entails no longer using the McDonald's name, logo, branding, and menu, though the Company will continue to retain its trademarks in Russia. McDonald's priorities include seeking to ensure the employees of McDonald's Russia continue to be paid until the close of any transaction and that employees have future employment with any potential buyer. McDonald's restaurants in Ukraine remain closed while the Company continues to pay full salaries for its employees in the country and continues to support local relief efforts led by Ronald McDonald House Charities. Across Europe, the McDonald's System is supporting Ukrainian refugees through food donations, housing and employment. Aankondiging • May 06

McDonald's Sued for Manager's Alleged Rape of 14-Year-Old Employee A Complaint was filed against McDonald's Corporation and a local McDonald's store owner in Pennsylvania state court in Pittsburgh. The case follows a familiar pattern of sexual harassment at McDonald's restaurants. But here a rape of a minor could have been avoided if McDonald's had only checked whether the manager the company hired was a past sex offender. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the underaged victim, whose real name was withheld from the complaint, where she is only identified as "LH." The complaint says she was raped and sexually harassed repeatedly on the job from January to April 2021, until finally local police intervened to end the ordeal. The complaint states that at some point before 2021, McDonald's and its franchised store owner hired Walter A. Garner as a manager at one of its fast food stores in the Pittsburgh area. This was despite the fact Garner was on the permanent public list of past sexual offenders known as Megan's List, and had in the past been convicted of the sexual assault of a ten year old girl and imprisoned. According to the complaint, store management placed Garner in charge of supervising several underaged female employees, at least three of whom brought Garner's inappropriate sexual behavior to the attention of the store's hiring manager. Afterward, there is evidence that store management had many other indications that Garner was molesting LH and other young employees. Finally, local school authorities were alerted and Garner was arrested in April 2021 and charged for the rape and other crimes. Only then was he fired. Aankondiging • Sep 11
