2025 was a year of historic resilience.
Despite unprecedented challenges, we faught fearlessly to win Know-Your-Rights protections, launched strikes across the state, released multiple reports exposing industry greed, moved legislation, and defended our communities.
In 2026: We won't back down.

The City Council has already made the first step, the past several months we’ve been attending City Hall to ensure we get the Fast Food Fair Work ordinance passed and signed!

This is why we’re fighting for independent, mandatory Know Your Rights training in Los Angeles that would empower every fast food worker in LA to learn about their rights.

No worker anywhere should have to worry about being able to pay their bills after the death of their spouse, simply because their boss didn’t like that they had to call out of work. That’s ridiculous!

Our member’s removal from the schedule is clear union busting. This store has a history of problems; we’ve held strikes and filed complaints to hold the company accountable
The franchisee has a history of wage theft; while workers protest and intend to file a lawsuit, the boss is punishing workers

Today we rallied at Subway in Los Angeles due to our member being unfairly disciplined and fired after calling out of work sick and because her spouse died.
She’s been completely removed from the schedule, and we’re demanding she’s put back!

We’re often terrified to go to work, the bosses, like many in the industry, want us to feel worthless and helpless.
We won’t tolerate this abuse and violence.
We demand Taco Bell take steps to protect workers from violence and abuse.

We've tried filing complaints about the abuse with no change, and marched on the boss last week, video below; instead of fixing the problems, bosses have retaliated against us with more abuse, demotions, and cutting one of members' hours from 40 hours per week down to just 9.

Rats and roaches pose major food safety issues in the kitchen and lobby, but health issues don't stop there, our location has served rotten or undercooked food to customers.
Taco Bell's disrespect starts with their workers, but customers are at risk as well.

In addition, there was one instance when the boss punched a wall next to one of us so hard that his knuckles started bleeding!
One of our hands was burned with hot oil as our boss yanked a tray out of our hand, causing the hot oil to splash and burn.
We shouldn't be scared to go to work.

The boss takes out his anger with ongoing verbal racist threats and abuse - nearly every shift cursing at and calling several workers “stupid, and “f’ing Mexicans”; and making racist statements when he sees Latino customers who do not speak English.

Taco Bell workers in El Dorado Hills, CA are ON STRIKE today against, racism, physical violence, as well as verbal and sexual harassment.
It goes beyond worker abuse: there are rats and roaches in the kitchen and lobby.
The situation at the store has become a nightmare.
We won't allow it 🧵

Don't think ICE is a worker issue? This asylum-seeking, gig driver with no criminal record was held without reason for 5 weeks. He was forced to abandon his car after being shackled by masked ICE agents.

This all comes while the industry is lobbying AGAINST Know-Your-Rights training.
While Californians create mutual aid networks and small businesses embrace the movements being created to protect our neighbors, McDonald’s wants to keep us in the dark and in fear.

Even more, the vent over the grill has been broken for months, exposing workers to the hazard of smoke.
Workers have been organizing at this location since the start of the pandemic, and while short term fixes are made, the company’s greed continues to shine through.

Under CA law, employers may be subject to penalties for providing voluntary consent to ICE or DHS agents to enter non-public areas of the store without a signed judicial warrant.

McDonald’s has the legal right to deny ICE/CBP agents entry to private areas of the store if they don’t present a warrant signed by a federal judge, and small businesses across the country have put up signs, as well as trained their staff to enforce that right.

Tonight San Jose McDonald’s workers are ON STRIKE after management told workers McDonald’s WILL NOT do anything to prevent ICE from entering the store, and that if ICE enters the store, *workers should run out of the store to their cars*
