Workers Call Out Billion-Dollar Company’s Shameful Five-Cent Wage Offer
LANSING, Mich., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On Friday, November 3, Teamsters Local 243 members who work at Chipotle in Lansing will rally to demand a fair contract from the multibillion-dollar corporation.
Chipotle Teamsters are standing strong in their fight for a first union contract and calling on the company to get serious in negotiations. The Lansing store became the first Chipotle location in the country to organize over a year ago.
Chipotle recently made the shameful offer of a five cents per hour raise to top-performing workers. The starting wage at Chipotle in Lansing is $13.25 per hour. Meanwhile, Chipotle made $8 billion last year, and its CEO Brian Niccol made $17 million.
After a short speaking portion, the attendees will march, chant, and leaflet the store’s customers.
