Former Del Taco worker files sexual harassment suit against fast-food chain

Suit filed two years after a settlement over another lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation against female employees

Del Taco, the second largest Mexican fast-food chain in the US, has been hit with fresh claims of firing staff members after they made sexual harassment accusations.

The restaurant operation, which has 592 locations in 15 states, is already under a three-year companywide consent decree with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from December 2020. The decree is part of a settlement over a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation against female employees.
