McDonald s Stores Collect COVID Relief Funds And Employee Safety Complaints Patch 11 hrs ago
While many industries made rapid changes to keep employees safe and slow the spread of COVID-19, fast food workers just kept reporting in person to their jobs throughout the pandemic. Facing significant risk from the virus, as well as from customers raging against mask mandates, workers have clung to guidelines around facial coverings, social distancing and sanitization for protection. But according to California workers who filed more than 100 official health and safety complaints with governmental oversight agencies over the course of the pandemic, McDonald’s and a handful of other fast food chains disregarded pandemic safety precautions repeatedly, even while franchises accepted Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from the U.S. Small Business Association’s COVID-19 program.

OAKLAND, Calif., April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and its California Labor Commissioner s Office has launched a web-based tool in English and Spanish that offers key information on the new 2021 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave law, Senate Bill No. 95, signed by Governor Newsom on March 19. The 2021 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave law provides workers up to 80 hours of paid sick leave if they or a family member are unable to work or telework due to COVID-19, including for vaccine-related reasons, said Labor Commissioner Lilia García-Brower. We designed this tool so workers and their employers can get information on workers paid sick leave options.
