Applebee's, IHOP, Denny's & Chili's: #StopTheSpread with Paid Sick Days now!
All large restaurant chains must offer Paid Sick Days to stop the spread of COVID-19 and provide stability for those restaurant workers who might otherwise be tempted to work sick or risk financial ruin.
Why is this important?
Giant restaurant chains have a public health responsibility to do what they can to stop the spread of Coronavirus to their customers and employees.
But Applebee's, IHOP, Denny's, and Chili's don't offer Paid Sick Days to their employees. That means that their servers and cooks are more likely to work sick, threatening to fuel the spread of this pandemic.
The Olive Garden's parent company took a big leadership step in responding to the COVID-19 crisis by announcing a new policy of Paid Sick Days for their employees.
The largest restaurant chains, serving the most customers and employing the most servers and cooks, have the responsibility to do everything they can to make their restaurants help stop the spread of COVID-19.
The Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (@ROCUnited) is leading the demand for these restaurants to offer Paid Sick Days to their employees. We're hoping to amplify their voice by supporting their call to action for Applebee's, IHOP, Denny's, and Chili's, to do their part to #StopTheSpread!
