Dozens of Workers Detail Sexual Misconduct at Applebee’s, IHOP Franchises | Eater

"Identified in a Vox review as one of two major restaurant chains sued at least four times for sexual harassment, this national casual-dining brand has faced numerous federal lawsuits against individual franchise owners, with several settlements, at least one matter in arbitration, and others still pending. Workers and plaintiffs allege that local management often ignored or condoned harassment, while the corporate parent has not been named as a defendant and says franchisees are responsible for implementing strict workplace harassment policies." - Whitney Filloon
