Wendy’s workers file assault lawsuits

Two young women who worked at a Wendy’s restaurant in Sydney have filed lawsuits against the owner of the fastfood outlet, alleging the company failed to protect them from a supervisor who was later convicted of sexually assaulting staff members. The civil lawsuits say both plaintiffs were minors when the alleged offences took place in 2019 and 2020 inside a Wendy’s in Sydney, N.S., owned and operated by T-Roy Enterprises Ltd. The women allege in separate statements of claim that the company did nothing when they reported being repeatedly sexually assaulted. The allegations have yet to be tested in court.
