What an absolutely shit article.
Here's the key quote
"When we asked our employees to come back, almost all said, “No thanks.” If they return to work, they’ll have to take a pay cut."
Or maybe the employees are concerned about, you know, the current worldwide pandemic and are in the 72% of Americans that would prefer to stay at home ‘until the doctors and public health officials say it is safe.’ (1)
Or risk their health for <$600/week.

- taude 7y agoThe real argument is whether the restaurant is safe to open back up, and should be allowed to be opened back up. In hypothetical, if it's determined to be safe due passing pandemic, then of course the employees should have to go back to work at their prior jobs if it's an option. If they have a problem with the pay, they shouldn't be working there anyway. It doesn't really matter because that $600 extra per week will likely end before the restaurant industry recovers, and we'll all be arguing different things then.
