Dauphin County Popeye’s under federal investigation over staff treatment
But one of the franchise owners says that’s not how the scenario played out.
Popeyes district manager Tom Rudzenski was called to the restaurant, but, according to the court order, upon his arrival, “The demeanor and actions of the district manager for this Popeye’s franchisee in Harrisburg raised concerns among our investigators about their physical safety, and the workers there must have felt threatened and were likely afraid to lose their jobs if they spoke to our investigators,” Wage and Hour Division District Director Alfonso Gristina in Wilkes-Barre said in a press release.
It was not the first time investigators showed up at the restaurant. On March 14, investigators asked to conduct interviews with employees working at the restaurant but were told by the general manager the employees had gone home sick, according to court documents.
