Workers accusations of abuses about Chipotle surface in New York. usfoodsafety
New York City filed suit against the fast-food company for violating the city’s Fair Workweek Law.
Mr. Vidal was one of more than 30 current or former Chipotle employees in the area who complained about working conditions at the restaurant to the city and to 32BJ SEIU, a local union trying to organize fast-food workers. One current employee noted the irony of a company that constantly heralded its “Food with Integrity” mantra not taking the same approach with its work force.
Workers have to agree in writing to last-minute schedule changes and employers must pay workers a premium for making these changes. Companies are also required to give workers the opportunity for additional hours instead of hiring more part-timers. Ms. Schalow added that Chipotle’s employees knew the company was committed to creating a “safe and engaging work environment” that was in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. She said Chipotle encouraged its workers to contact the company immediately if they had concerns.
“It affects more than just your job,” he said. “It affects what’s going on around you and your life.”
