Going to Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, or Long John Silver’s? Support YUM Brands Workers

Please help secure justice for workers who have been fired from YUM Brands fast food restaurants throughout the Midwest.

More than 100 workers in the greater Chicago area have been fired by Pizza Hut, purportedly based on SSA no-match letters. All of these workers have been told by Pizza Hut management to re-verify their eligibility for employment, or they would be fired. Many have worked at Pizza Hut for more than a decade.

These firings could signal that thousands of YUM Brands workers across the country are in jeopardy of losing their jobs.

Deliver a message to your local YUM Brands restaurant that their employees deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and the company needs to stop the unjust firings now!

Here’s what you can do:

  • Bring a group of concerned people to deliver this flyer [pdf] or a personal message to a local YUM Brands restaurant.
  • Call Pizza Hut President Scott Bergren at (972) 338-7700 and express concern and disappointment about Pizza Hut’s campaign against Latino workers.
  • Send a letter to: Scott Bergren, President and Chief Concept Officer, Pizza Hut, Inc., 14841 N. Dallas Parkway, Dallas, TX, 75254.
  • Talk to the management at a local Pizza Hut and convey the same message of concern and disappointment with the company’s treatment of long-time, loyal employees.

For more information, contact the Workers’ Rights Center in Madison, Wisconsin (a member of IWJ’s national network of worker centers) or the Chicago Workers’ Collaborative at (773) 655-0815.
