the beginning of June, Lizzet Aguilar went on a four-day strike. She requested that the McDonald's area in Boyle Heights where she worked give representatives sufficient defensive gear and authorize social separating to battle the coronavirus.

Aguilar, 35, said that a boss treated her all the more cruelly after the strike in counter for her activism, advising her to work quicker and teaching different representatives not to support her.

"She was harder with me, stricter, and began to shout more," Aguilar said.

Coronavirus cases have flooded in California throughout the most recent two months, powered by the resuming of the economy. In spite of the fact that general wellbeing authorities state making working environments more secure is fundamental to easing back the infection's spread, dread of reprisal is keeping numerous representatives from voicing wellbeing concerns, laborers and work coordinators state.
