Jollibee workers at the popular Philippines-based fast food restaurant in Wheaton delivered a letter signed by the majority of employees to store management demanding double pay for crew members who work on holidays. The campaign for holiday pay launches weeks after the Jollibee workers in New Jersey successfully organized to win reinstatement and backpay.

After months of community pressure, the Justice for Jollibee Workers campaign is declaring victory after the Philippine-based corporation finalized a settlement for reinstatement, back pay, and a public apology. The settlement comes after workers and community members protested in various Jollibee locations and the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against the corporation for violating federal labor law and their right to organize.

Jollibee pulled out within days of after an announcement by the Justice for Jollibee Campaign that they were going to protest at the event. The action follows the reinstatement of three of the nine Jollibee workers who were illegally terminated in February in Jollibee’s Journal Square branch in Jersey City. Despite reinstatement, the workers still seek backpay and a public apology.

When we fight we win! After months of worker and community organizing alongside an official complaint from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Jollibee is offering reinstatement to the nine Jollibee workers who were illegally terminated for organizing for higher wages and better working conditions.

Jollibee workers who were illegally terminated at the Journal Square earlier this year were offered reinstatement by the Philippine-based fast food corporation following months of community pressure and an official complaint from the National Labor Relations Board.

The United States’ National Labor Relations Board brought formal charges against the Philippine-based fast food corporation for illegally terminating nine workers in New Jersey after they petitioned for higher wages and better working conditions.

The Justice for Jollibee Workers campaign’s Facebook page was unpublished. We believe this was Jollibee's attempt to suppress the voices of the illegally terminated Jollibee workers and many others who started to use the page as a platform to raise their issues.
