DON’T WANT TO DIE FOR FRIES

MCDONALD'S workers walked out in protest Sunday after learning that a female co-worker tested positive for coronavirus.

Employees at the restaurant in Los Angeles staged a strike and demanded more safety equipment after hearing about positive diagnosis earlier this week.

"We don't yet know exactly who tested positive," Bartolome Perez, a 30-year cook at McDonald's, told Fox 11.

"One of our other co-workers let people know that a female worker had tested positive for the virus Monday or Tuesday."

Workers are demanding the company provide protective equipment such as masks to help keep workers safe during the pandemic.

More than 9,600 people have died in the US as of Monday, while 337,600 have been infected.

Employees have pleaded with McDonald's to send more gear for more than a month, Perez said.

They're also curious as to why the fast food chain didn't tell them about their sick colleague.
