Workers said they would picket the store until management presents an acceptable agreement on severence pay, along with employee transfers to other Papa John’s locations.
Employees picketed a Papa John’s pizza shop in Lynwood on Thursday, March 30 to protest its abrupt closure and their resulting layoffs.
“It was very sad,” the Los Angeles resident said. “Management said they would give us severence pay according to how long each of us worked here, but they only offered me one week.” Representatives with the Atlanta-based pizza chain could not be reached for comment Thursday, although a media contact indicated the Lynwood store was a franchise location. When called, the store’s phone appeared to be disconnected.
In the complaint, cashier Aura Lopez describes being threatened with a gun in the parking lot after closing the store by herself one night.
