Woman Blames Mikey D's for Forcing Her into Prostitution

[bigmikeymike]

What.


A California woman has reportedly filed a federal lawsuit against McDonald's, claiming the fast-food franchise had a role in her becoming a prostitute two decades ago.

Shelley Lynn claims in the suit that she was "economically and psychologically" coerced into prostitution by her ex-husband and former manager at a McDonald's in Arroyo Grande, Calif., the Courthouse News Service reported this week.

Lynn, who was hired by the restaurant to work behind the counter in 1982, claims in the complaint that her former boss and ex-husband, Keith Handley, pushed her into prostitution in Nevada and also "engaged in pimping operations out of the McDonald's franchises he owned."

The lawsuit places blame on the restaurant giant, claiming it "does not insure employee policies are in place to protect against unscrupulous and criminal individuals like Handley.

"It has an active, notorious, and hostile campaign to keep unions out," the complaint reportedly states. "It offers an inferior health care plan and no pension benefits. Most employees are paid minimum wages as was Lynn. There is no affirmative action to encourage women employees and other women to purchase franchises."

Lynn is suing Handley, who still runs the franchise, as well as his company Ivernia and McDonald's USA.

She should have gotten a better education and degrees to get a better job and better insurance, at least in the US.

People who complain piss me off and love to make up excuses for not bettering themselves.

At least she wasn't robbing and killing people for jewelry and clothing she wanted.

Fuckin bullshit is what it is

Fuckin' America is what it is.

This is where the 'no win-no fee' ambulance-chaser, compensation-culture, mentality has got ya.

"I am a victim, I am not responsible, somebody owes me"

"Ooh, ooh, I'm a fat bastard, whoever sold me the food must be to blame!!!!"

Thats a generalization of a whole nation.

I'm American, I work for mine and I never seek handouts.

Even when I discharged from the USMC, I could have received money for the 2500 mile drive, but I didn't. I saved up what I could and what I couldn't afford I sold or threw away.

A lot of people are that way, but not "America" as a whole.

I laugh at the people when I go to Wal-Mart who ride around in the mobile chairs because they're too fat to walk.

Seriously people, is it really too difficult to run 2 or 3 miles every other day? Or even go for a mile jog everyday? Complacency and laziness is what it is.

She should win.

"out of the McDonald's franchises he owned" is key in this case. I do feel some of you are looking down on this woman due to the fact that she is in a low paying job. Does that mean she should be afforded less respect or protection then somone of a higher class?

If a PA at a investment bank was forced into prostitution by her boss, forced to fuck rich fat yuppies AT WORK there would be outcry, protests in the street.

For fucks sake this is not a women taking legal action because the food made her fat. She was forced into prostitution by her boss at work. I dont understand how you are all ok with that.

What the hell are you talking about, I was referring to the post above me, NOT relating fat people to the prostitute in the article. He said "fuckin' America, that's what it is" then proceeded to say Americans want handouts. I don't want handouts and I'm an American, I work for mine.

And because I replied to King Herald's comment, "I am a victim, I am not responsible, somebody owes me" and "Ooh, ooh, I'm a fat bastard, whoever sold me the food must be to blame!!!!" then it must mean I was directly referring to the woman in the article. Right

Looks like someone is trying to start an argument today. Where in my previous post did I relate this woman to fat people? I laugh at FAT, LAZY people not PEOPLE FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION.
