First, a local zine called out Dick’s Drive-In for their history of opposing minimum wage hikes. And as if that wasn’t enough hassle, now a labor group is shining a spotlight on reports of health and safety violations at the burger chain. Sponsored The complaints, all of which were filed in the last week, detail some fairly unpleasant conditions: Employees exposed to COVID were encouraged to come to work before getting test results, some workers claim; there was a heater running in a puddle of water; there was mold in the freezer; the gloves workers wear melted onto skin when exposed to heat, which sent at least one person to the emergency room. It’s pretty bad, these workers allege!
