The chain restaurant Chipotle Mexican Grill signed a $20 million settlement with New York City employees over allegations of labor law violations, Mayor Eric Adams announced Aug. 9. This is the largest fair workweek settlement in the nation and the biggest labor protection settlement in the city’s history, Adams said.
“We have implemented a number of compliance initiatives, including additional management resources and adding new and improved timekeeping technology to help our restaurants, and we look forward to continuing to promote the goals of predictable scheduling and access to work hours for those who want them,” said Scott Boatwright, Chipotle’s chief restaurant officer.
