A federal labor agency has issued a formal complaint against Sean Penn's disaster relief group after the actor accused employees who spoke out about long hours and poor meal options of 'broad betrayal' and encouraged them to quit.
In January, two people claiming to work for the Community Organized Relief Effort, or CORE, challenged the company line in the comments section of a New York Times article about a vaccination drive at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles.
One of the alleged workers - whose identities have not been verified - complained about 18 hour work days and a lack of restrooms, prompting Penn to hit back: 'Any of us who might find themselves predisposed to a culture of complaint, have a much simpler avenue than broad-based cyber whining. It’s called quitting.'
A January 28 New York Times article described a bustling scene as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti helped manage the long queues, where people waited as long as four or five hours for their first COVID-19 shot.
The story claimed 'there is Krispy Kreme for breakfast and Subway for lunch.'
But a comment by 'staff #2' took issue with the claim.
'We do NOT get krispy kreme for breakfast. In fact, we usually DON'T get breakfast, just coffee. And the lunch is NOT subway. It's the same old lettuce wraps every day. It's free lunch for staff/volunteers so I'm not complaining but still... not subway,' the person wrote.
The mayor more or less ordered an OSHA violation. There is a shipping container on site that is a designated space for overworked staff to go cry in. If you're not let into this shipping container, it's because staff are crying inside. Garcetti created these conditions and looks like a hero for it.'

All they need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz
“culture of complaint”
And if you don’t provide them don’t tell the media that you do. Because of the public lies the workers weren’t wrong to publicly correct it.
My biggest thing would be lack of port-potties, but that should be taken up with the managers first and then authorities.
**Community Organized Relief Effort, or CORE***
CORE? I thought that was the Congress of Racial Equality.

I don’t know what the problem is. Sean Penn aside, problem employees should be encouraged to leave. I had to intercede between two employees acting like children and then complaining they had to work together. I listened to them and then said “if you don’t like it, you both know where the door is”.
But 18 hours is a bit much to ask for unpaid or low wage job. Free donuts and lunches is not to be expected, unless it is in an employment contract. I have a cousin working for Google out east, they have gourmet food available on site 24/7, part of their compensation/perks. The company encourages employees to stay on site as much as possible. So employees want to come in for breakfast, stay through lunch, and stick around through dinner. They have their reasons.
“There is a shipping container on site that is a designated space for overworked staff to go cry in. If you’re not let into this shipping container, it’s because staff are crying inside.”
ROTFL!
What’s disappointing is not one person has snapped regarding these liberal actors, actresses, athletes, and politicians. OTOH, conservatives can expect to see their lives threatened constantly.
Thank you, I work very hard to curate only the best
Another loving liberal showing why they are superior and SHOULD be running every aspect of our lives- So caring and compassionate toward his employees..🙄
My father's job occasionally brought him onto Hollywood movie sets. He marveled at the feasts that were set out for the actors and crew: mountains of perfectly crisp bacon, enormous apples, oranges, and grapefruits, incredible varieties of everything in massive quantities, beautiful, bigger and better than anything you could get at the supermarket or in a restaurant. This was back in the 60s and 70s.
Now they get Subway -- if they're lucky?

No, he doesn't. And neither do you. Now get back to 'work', you parasitic partisan stooge.
Best swimming pool scene ever!

Doest thou as I sayeth, not as I doeth.
Penn is just an uneducated, arrogant, horse’s arse of a hypocrite. The only reason that anyone pays any attention to this jackass is that he can fake being other people on cue.
It dwindled now for the food trucks. Unless you have a major star in both TV and movie production, the producers will cheapskate you.
