The proposed legislation would increase penalties for violations of the law.
Kyle Bragg, the president of 32BJ, which has been working to organize Chipotle workers across the city, trumpeted the proposed legislation. At the council hearing Monday, Elizabeth Wagoner, a representative of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection — which is overseen by the mayor's office — testified against raising penalties on employers.
"We are looking forward to working with council on ideas for boosting deterrence or non-compliance and to the extent of possible revocation could accomplish that goal, we are happy to explore that further," she said. "We think it's a very interesting idea.". Since then, the city has fielded more than 440 complaints for violations, and closed more than 220 investigations, according to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
Maybe if NYC schools turned out literate students they wouldn't have to work full-time at Chipotle.
I hate chain stores, but in sticking it to the big corporations would City Hall be sticking it to the franchisee instead?
Yes, keep passing laws making it even more difficult to do business in NYC.
I have no idea who even eats at Chipotle.
