I used to work there. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider and was out 5 days. I was in the hospital for 2 of those days. I had a doctor's note that my hand was "septic" and I couldn't handle money or even in the vicinity of the food. During the time I was out, I checked in with the manager each day. I. The last day when I called, I was told by another employee that she thought I was taken off the schedule indefinitely. The manager decided to fire me. The only other day I'd ever missed was a day my son was sick and I still went into the restaurant hours before it even opened to do my morning prep work so my coworkers wouldnt be unprepared. My son sat in the booth nearest the door and colored while I prepped.
I've also worked with a competing establishment. Before and since working at Chipotles, I worked for izzos Illegal Burrito. At this point, I've worked every position in that restaurant except dishwasher. In all my 6 years working every position other than dishwasher, ive NEVER had anyone do that. But I was "unreliable" and was fired.

Good for Chipotle. In my small business the employees mentioned Union just once. Told them try it, , i'll be working here alone. If you are treated fairly why would you want a union?
