TikTok was abuzz last month with videos of drive-through employees at a Jack in the Box in Moreno Valley throwing drinks at a belligerent customer. Outside of a Carl\u2019s Jr. in San Bernardino County, an employee found the body of an unhoused man in January. And that same month at a Burger King in Milwaukee, one employee accidentally shot and killed his teenage coworker while trying to defend against an alleged robbery.<\/p>\n<p>In San Francisco and across California, 911 call data shows fast-food workers regularly face disruptive and sometimes volatile situations, ranging from noise complaints and trespassing to assaults and armed robberies.<\/p>\n<p>A nonprofit labor organization focused on raising the minimum wage analyzed 911 calls to make the case that fast-food companies should do more to protect employees. The Chronicle\u2019s analysis of the data, along with federal labor statistics and additional research, shows that what happens in these restaurants often reflects neglected needs of communities \u2014 forcing fast-food employees to deal with some of society\u2019s most dire issues.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The non-profit organization, Fight for $15, collected crime data as a way to show that more needs to be done to protect fast food restaurant workers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The<em> Chronicle<\/em> article reported the Fillmore McDonald\u2019s where a man died had more than 900 calls between 2017 and 2020, with a third of those related to \u201cviolent incidents.\u201d And the Market Street McDonald\u2019s restaurant had the third highest 911 calls between 2017 and 2020 among the San Francisco restaurants included in the study.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Chronicle<\/em> got an email reply from MacDonald\u2019s, which said it has \u201crigorous safety and security procedures in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crime in Democrat-controlled California is so rampant and bad, news crews are having to rethink how they do live coverage because even they are being targeted for their expensive equipment. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UqEZMj6D3K\">https:\/\/t.co\/UqEZMj6D3K<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1468207659195281412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRestaurant managers and crew at McDonald\u2019s corporate-owned restaurants undergo full training including a comprehensive workplace violence prevention program on safety and security practices, and we provide the same resources to franchisees to support their teams,\u201d Rob Holm, director of McDonald\u2019s Global Security, said in the email.<\/p>\n<p>The article also pointed out corporations are not liable for what happens at their franchises.<\/p>\n<p>But California lawmakers in the Assembly have passed AB257, which would give fast food workers a venue for weighing in on workplace safety rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The bill has to be approved by the Senate before advancing to the governor\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Penny Starr on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PennyStarrDC\">Twitter<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamburgers and fries are not the only things moving quickly at fast-food restaurants in California.\u00a0 Data shows high rates of 911 calls from the outlets include reports of violent attacks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1420139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1420139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1420139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1420139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1420139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1420139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1420139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
