THANK YOU.

>>> CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF CHICAGO STYLE HOTDOGS AND FAMOUS ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES.

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT DECLARED LAST FRIDAY .

WORKERS IN EDISON ARE LEADING EFFORTS TO UNIONIZE, DEMANDING SICK DAYS AND EVEN SEATS AT THE TABLE WITH MANAGEMENT.

NON-ENGLISH] >> WE WANT FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORKERS AT THE FOOD FACILITY CURRENTLY HAVE ZERO SIX DAYS AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT FOLKS UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THAT, BECAUSE JUST LIKE EVERYONE, THESE WORKERS ARE HUMAN.

THEY ARE BOUND TO GET SICK AT SOME POINT , AND IT IS COMPLETELY INHUMANE AND UNJUST FOR THESE FOLKS TO HAVE ZERO SICK DAYS.

IF THEY DO END UP GETTING SICK, UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE TO TAKE A LEAVE WITHOUT PAY.

THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO A LOT OF THESE FOLKS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

IT IS FINE IF THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR MISSION TO EXPAND SOME 60 SOMETHING STORES UP TO 600 OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT DECADE, BUT WHAT IS NOT OKAY IS FOR THEM TO MAKE THAT GROWTH AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WORKERS.

>> THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY TELL US IN A STATEMENT, AND I QUOTE, "WE ARE PROUD OF THE COMPETITIVE CAREER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTSTANDING BENEFITS INCLUDING HEALTH INSURANCE, A WELLNESS PROGRAM, LEARNING RESOURCES, AND REWARD AND RECOGNITION
