Maybe support worker's rights so they can report that kind of thing without getting fired.

He reported his problems to his superiors. They chose to do nothing. He did his job by telling them of problems he saw. The superior's job is to act on that information. He had faith in his employer and treated them with respect. But when faced with overwhelming evidence of their disinterest and willingness to violate his rights he acted. Who in their right mind fires someone after a medical emergency?Then hire them back disingenuously to proctect their interest? They were asking for trouble. Anyone with half an ounce of intellegenct could see this would be trouble. He did not get the restraunt shut down, the managers did by running an unhealthy establishment with untrained staff did. Seriously, would you feel safe eating there? It takes a LOT to get shut down by the health department. Just an added note, how much do you think it would have cost them if he had died at work from his appendix and it came out the manager wouldn't let him leave?

My thoughts exactly.

100% agree. That and I'd rather end up on unemployment than be preparing/serving tainted food and water to paying customers. If a place is really that bad it shouldn't be open. Plus they say at the end they've mostly moved on to better jobs... sooo... they shouldn't have waited.

Ikr, I love my pancakes with a side of Hep, or Ecoli. mmmm boy!

I was about to say exactly the same. And he puts as excuse that "he need his job". But sure, when you want revenge, you give a toss about other that might need the job too? Disgusting

it says multiple times that she and other employees reported things multiple times and nothing was ever done, but thanks for reading the article

there is no benefit to reporting the issue and yet there is deficit in doing so which is actually losing a stable job and pay why would anyone do that kind of thing to themselves unless they were forced to do so?

And behave like a hero, that did a huge favor to the humanity.

Employees need their jobs. Why should they risk their source of income by reporting their bosses and workplaces? There should be official inspections every now and then, to make sure the places are safe and keep hygienic conditions and also to make sure that this kind of abuse to workers is not happening. But the government seems to be very busy with more important things, like building a wall and imprisoning children, instead of protecting its own citizens. Why should a poor minimum-salary worker risk his job when nobody else seem to care?

The management and every other worker deserves the same criticism.

Yeah, long live the US of A. It's amazing that people put up with those circumstances. But hey, you too can get rich and belong to the 1%, if only you work hard enough! Lol.

Did you miss the part about the health code violations? What about the customers? That place obviously should have been closed down a long time ago. I wonder how many people got food poisoning over the time [years] it had been open. Her wrongful termination was the last straw in an obviously badly managed business. If they hadn't been improperly running the business, there would have been no violations to be closed down for...

Judging the behaviour of the managers as well as what had been done to the two employees mentioned in this post, it was clear that they have been working at a hellhole.

Ya, let's blame the victim. They almost killed him and violated his rights, but screw him. Why does he even think he should have rights? Let's support the a-holes who refuse to do their job and clean the place. Why should they be held accountable in any way? While we're at it let's go back to the days of indentured servitude and slavery where people aren't allowed to complain. And what ever happened to the good old days of child labor? I hope you can see how absurd that is. You cannot blame a victim, the management is the one who failed, they had opportunitys to do the right thing and chose not to. The managers, maybe even the owner for falling asleep on the job, and even the larger franchise holder (for they have a brand to protect) deserve the blame. None listened or took enough interest to protect themselves and their customers. They deserve failure.
