Chipotle: Don't penalize sick workers for staying home.
Chipotle workers report that they are risking their jobs by staying home from work if they're sick. While the company does offer paid sick leave, workers report being told by managers to work even when they're sick, and retaliating against those who call out sick.
Chipotle needs to live up to its motto of "Food with Integrity" by following state laws (such as New York's Paid Sick Leave law) and implementing best practice policies nationwide to keep their employees, their customers, and the general public safe and healthy.

Why is this important?
Right now, Chipotle employees across the country are using their hands to make the tacos, burritos, and bowls its customers love. So in the midst of a public health emergency, such as our current response to the coronavirus, it's critical that these food workers are able to follow the meager federal guidance to stay at home if you're sick. The practice of forcing sick employees to work anyways is not acceptable. We're asking: #DoBetterChipotle.
