The American fast food giant is on a legal run. The last was the lawsuit against the ex-CEO Steve Easterbrook Approved for sexual relations with employees, now the company can sue its insurer. He did not want to support him against the lawsuit by employees due to potential Covid violations.
Several employees had sued the franchise because it did not comply with the official standards for Covid protection – VW today reported. Austin Mutual Insurance Company (AMIC), a unit of American Family Mutual Insurance, wanted to crush the lawsuit. The lawsuit did not come from “third parties”, had no virus-related protection and was also not designed for labor law violations.
The Federal District Court apparently saw it differently and rejected its motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Both the insurer and the burger chain have presented their view of the legal situation. The judge stated that the explanations “would not excite” anyone and that AMIC “possibly” provided the better explanation. However, the case is not about “better” interpretations, but about a “potential and legally defensible interpretation”.
In the meantime it has become known that three employees show “symptoms of the virus”, as the reporting medium said businessinsurance writes. Essentially, the lawsuit by employees and their families is intended to ensure that the company takes care of the safety of its employees, at least to the extent required by law.
Sex, burgers and a CEO
How the lawsuit by McDonalds against the former CEO Steve Easterbrook developed, is currently not foreseeable. Both sides are preparing for the 42 million process. His ex-employer accuses him of having had illicit sexual relationships with several employees. He had violated corporate standards and trust. The attacked argues that the company knew about the relationship but did nothing.
The case is interesting, as it will show whether a sexual relationship is deliberate action in terms of managerial liability (D&O) or not.
