"Workers at the tortilla factories have filed multiple complaints with local and state labor authorities after previous protests and an NLRB complaint, alleging unfair sick leave and scheduling practices. They say employees must petition HR to return after a paid sick day and provide a doctor or pharmacist note even for minor illnesses; petitions that are denied result in being sent home without pay. Other workers claim they are routinely scheduled to work seven consecutive days, which they say violates the Illinois One Rest Day in Seven Act." - Aimee Levitt
