Welcome to the March roundup on Ancient Earth. We’ve pulled together three stories that grabbed headlines worldwide and sparked conversation across Africa. Whether you’re into workplace justice, global religion news, or football drama, this quick guide has you covered.

Mass Legal Action Against McDonald's UK

A group of more than 700 young workers from McDonald’s restaurants in the United Kingdom filed a joint lawsuit after a BBC expose revealed widespread harassment and a "sex for shifts" scheme. The claim says managers at over 450 outlets offered extra hours in exchange for sexual favors, while also tolerating racism and other abusive behavior.

Unions are calling the fast‑food giant’s response weak, saying the company needs stronger policies and real protection for staff. The case will be heard in Employment Tribunals, meaning the outcome could set a precedent for how large franchises handle workplace misconduct across Europe.
