Thousands of restaurant workers risk their health to interact with unmasked customers every day.

The reality of restaurant work, with no paid leave for illness, undermines the fundamental public health principle of staying home when sick.
The lack of access to paid sick days forces precarious workers to choose between a day's wage or recovering from illness [3/5]

We're at a breaking point. We've raised concerns with restaurant owners and elected government officials. It's become apparent that businesses making money is more important than protecting workers.
We hope that healthcare workers will support our fight
