Taco Bell workers in San Jose went on a one-day strike Wednesday, alleging the fast-food restaurant of providing unsafe working conditions and cutting workers' hours.Workers at the Taco Bell location near the corner of S. King Rd. and Tully Rd. claim kitchen temperatures rise to nearly 90 degrees, alleging the company has failed to repair the restaurant's air conditioner. They also complain of gas leaks in the kitchen.
The new rules would also extend to schools, where teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, and other employees may work without air conditioning. A similar proposal was set for a vote in March, but was cancelled by the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board.'We've had a lot of discussions with the governor's office since then,' Lorena Gonzalez, the principal officer of the California Labor Federation, said.
