Employees at the McDonald's on Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles walked out, saying the company had not provided them with masks or protective equipment to keep them safe.
"I haven't really thought about money at this point," he said."I just want me and my family to be safe." Perez has been contacted for additional comment.
McDonald's has also been contacted for comment. The company has issued a number of statements regarding the health of workers and customers and the safety precautions the company is taking due to the pandemic. In a statement last week, McDonald's USA President Joe Erlinger said the company was implementing additional procedures in partnership with franchise locations, including daily wellness checks for employees including plans to make thermometers available to all restaurants, sending non-medical grade masks"to the areas of greatest need" and installing protective barriers and social distancing decals within some restaurants to further minimize contact.
