@redlobster 9. Further, @redlobster's previous parent company @darden provides paid sick leave to all employees. And it hasn't impacted their ability to turn a profit. @darden, which sold @RedLobster in 2014, recorded $193 million in profit last quarter https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og https://t.co/zsygQBmZjn — PolitiTweet.org

8. @redlobster said their policy of not providing paid sick leave, even during a pandemic, is "consistent with our industry." But access to paid sick leave @redlobster is "well below the average for chain restaurants" https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og — PolitiTweet.org

@redlobster 7. In a statement, @redlobster appeared to BLAME EMPLOYEES for the problem. The company said that "no one is allowed to work sick" and "employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action, including termination" https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og https://t.co/8YUn18TJm3 — PolitiTweet.org

6. Not everyone has that ability. A current @redlobster employee in Ohio told the Columbus Dispatch in September that he has worked sick because he can't afford to lose his job. https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og https://t.co/OplO4APNis — PolitiTweet.org

5. Red Lobster management told Swartz that he "needed to come in for work" and if he didn't show up or find another way to cover the shift he would "get written up." Swartz stayed home anyway. He could only afford to because he had a second job. https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og — PolitiTweet.org

4. James Swartz worked as a bartender at a PA @redlobster for a year-and-a-half starting in 12/19. He was paid $3.50/hr + tips. Swartz said when he developed COVID symptoms and said he was not coming in for his shift, he was subjected to "threats." https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og https://t.co/zfrRenTmBh — PolitiTweet.org

@btrwkart @redlobster No, that's Darden which sold Red Lobster in 2014. Darden started providing paid sick leave to its workers in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

3. "We do not get sick pay. If we don’t work we don't get paid. I worry that co-workers who have been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 family member would still come to work. We live paycheck to paycheck. We can't sit at home without pay" https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og — PolitiTweet.org

@redlobster 2. According to previously unreleased survey data from @shift_hks, a project based at Harvard's Kennedy School TWO-THIRDS of @redlobster workers who were sick in the Fall of 2021 reported WORKING SICK https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og — PolitiTweet.org

1. As the pandemic rages on, tens of thousands of @redlobster workers lack paid sick leave A https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ investigation finds many @redlobster workers are being FORCED TO WORK SICK — either from financial necessity or pressure from management https://t.co/dPH69Wn6Og — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Cruz posts a video of himself groveling to Tucker Carlson, apologizing for being too negative about the January 6 mob. Hard to watch. — PolitiTweet.org

It's a real issue with our information ecosystem. The message THESE PEOPLE SUCK will travel much further than THINGS ARE KIND OF COMPLICATED RIGHT NOW even if the former is false and the latter is true — PolitiTweet.org

So many companies are keeping their options open. They could join the seven or they could join the companies showing McCarthy and company with cash. I'll be continuing to track what happens. You can stay updated by signing up free for my newsletter --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

This is an absolutely key moment. We contacted 180+ companies about their plans for 2022 and only SEVEN committed to maintaining the freeze for this year. @Airbnb @BASF @EversourceCorp @lyft @Microsoft @DowNewsroom @AmericanExpress https://t.co/hwL36xkVC7 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
If we lump the folks who are keeping their word in with Lockheed Martin and Koch and the rest of the companies that are showing the GOP objectors with cash, why should they continue their pledges? https://t.co/yOUfjiVZ6q — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Accountability requires precision. There are 79 corporations that are upholding both the letter and the spirit of their pledges. And there are many silently following their lead. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
What is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO ME is the narrative that all corporations are donating to Republican objectors again, reflected in a lot of media coverage, is precisely the narrative that corporate lobbyists are pushing and it is not true — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Many companies have given millions to Republican objectors and they should be held accountable. But, overall, corporate PAC donations are down 60% compared to the comparable time period last election cycle That's not an insignificant decline https://t.co/CoGgwxevfB https://t.co/ZnWaFhPj1X — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Another 43 companies cut off all donations after 1/6 and since then have not donated to any of the 147 Republican objectors directly or indirectly https://t.co/yOUfjiVZ6q — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Another 16 of those 57 donated to the @NRCC and @NRSC, which supports the entire GOP caucus. In so doing, they violated the spirit, if not the letter of the pledge. But that still leave 37 corporations that have kept their word with no caveats https://t.co/yOUfjiVZ6q — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Here is one way to look at it. Many companies released statements. But many of them were just pablum We documented 57 companies that actually pledged to cut off donations to the 147 GOP objectors Since 1/6, FOUR have donated directly to objectors https://t.co/yOUfjiVZ6q — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Headlines like this are true, as I've documented after every FEC filing. But the overall impression of this piece and others — that corporate PAC giving has "returned to normal" — is inaccurate Many companies kept their pledges and corporate PAC money to objectors is way down https://t.co/9NSAQMnF22 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This makes no sense at all. Not only is Dick Cheney responsible for the Iraq War, the CIA's torture program, and other atrocities, Cheney endorsed Trump in 2016 and again for reelection, appearing at a fundraiser for him in 2019 https://t.co/ZY3YXPcXOG — PolitiTweet.org
