McDonald's Workers Sue over Wage Theft in 3 States 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In labor news, Mc Donald's workers have filed a series of lawsuits in
three states accusing the company and its franchises of stealing their
wages through a range of illegal practices. Workers' accusations include
being forced to work while off the clock, having hours deleted from
their timecards and being denied meal and rest breaks. Lawyers say the
suits could impact more than 30,000 workers.
