"The Golden Arches left suburbia for a new headquarters along Randolph Street. In doing so, it also opened a restaurant with a twist. This McDonald’s offers standard fare and items exclusively available at locations outside the U.S. Currently, the menu includes a double-barbecue chicken sandwich from France and goat cheese burger from Spain." - Ashok Selvam
"Workers and activists held a coordinated local protest at the company’s West Loop headquarters as part of a national, 12-city action criticizing how sexual harassment complaints have been handled and urging employees to unionize. Protesters marched with signs calling out unacceptable harassment and retaliatory practices after multiple high-profile cases and complaints emerged: a teenager in Pittsburgh has alleged a manager raped her, the EEOC has sued on behalf of workers in Nevada, Arizona, and California alleging a franchise owner tolerated harassment, and the EEOC has received complaints from Chicago-area employees. The company announced new standards in April that require retaliation, harassment and violence prevention policies, training, and a clear complaint path, but those requirements do not become mandatory until January." - Aimee Levitt
"For its latest celebrity meal, McDonald’s has found a star — or seven of them, to be exact — whose level of global fame may rival its own: the extremely popular K-pop group BTS, known for its record-breaking releases and legions of devoted fans." - Jenny G. Zhang
"The Travis Scott meal at McDonald’s — a medium Sprite, a quarter pounder with bacon, and fries with barbecue sauce — was a bona fide phenomenon when it was introduced in September." - Jaya Saxena
"In a conference call today, McDonald’s announced its own plant-based burger, which has been dubbed the “McPlant.” The burger is created “by McDonald’s and for McDonald’s,” International President Ian Borden said. The McPlant will be added to menus in 2021." - Jaya Saxena
