Imène and Alexandra, two young women also recounted the physical attack they say they suffered from a teammate on September 28. An assault that resulted in the layoff, then the dismissal of the alleged aggressor. He contacted us following the publication of this article. The 19-year-old denies all the facts, both racist insults and physical assault.

Like Imène and his colleagues, he believes that it was during the presidential elections that the atmosphere within McDonald’s would have deteriorated. A fairly lively exchange on the National Rally would have split the employees into two groups.

He admits to having insulted Imène and his colleagues, but denies all the racist comments and even believes that he was harassed. “Imene was throwing rumors behind my back. I was often summoned by management. I think he is someone who manipulates people. »

“I didn’t hit her”

As for the aggression that occurred on September 28, his version is very different from that of his colleagues. For a badly posed hamburger bun story, the tone would have risen between several McDonald’s employees despite the manager’s intervention. Théo allegedly insulted Imène and Alexandra before things got out of hand.
“Alexandra followed me into the room and approached me. I pushed her away but didn’t try to kick or tear her veil. Imene arrived in rescue mode, I called her a whore and put my hands up to defend myself, but I didn’t hit her. The next day, the management summoned us one by one to tell the facts. “A version supported by certain colleagues of Théo and denied by Alexandra and Imène as well as other employees.

However, the investigation carried out by the management led to his dismissal for serious misconduct. “As soon as we learned of the facts, we immediately launched an internal investigation involving the staff representatives (CSE) and took the necessary decision in compliance with the legal framework,” McDonald’s said on Thursday. Théo filed a complaint against his two colleagues for defamation and moral harassment.
