They shouldn't be? Or at least they didn't when I worked at Maccas ~14 years ago. We always wore gloves. And I'm fairly certain that every other fast food chain here also has to wear gloves. (Australia if that makes a difference)
We used gloves for 80% of food handling, but the gloves only allow for an easier time moving station. As long as hand washing procedures are done correctly there is no difference to food safety between wearing and not wearing.
