3月23日（路透社）——纽约市消费者和工人保护局周一表示，一家经营塔可钟（Taco Bell）和唐恩都乐（Dunkin’）的加盟商已同意支付超过150万美元，以解决该市提出的指控。该市指控其在24家餐厅的管理人员违反了一项当地法律，该法律要求快餐企业向员工提前通知排班安排及其他保护措施。
今年1月上任的市长佐兰·曼达尼（Zohran Mamdani）在竞选时部分承诺加强劳动保护法的执行力度，他计划在未来几天就此次和解发表声明。

据该市工人保护部门称，Salz Management LLC 公司长期以来未向员工充分提前通知排班安排，还额外支付了“连班”（clopening）工资（即要求员工前一晚关闭店铺、次日清晨再开门营业的班次），并且在招聘新员工前未优先提供现有员工可用的班次，此外还有其他多项指控。
该市周一还宣布，已对另一家唐恩都乐加盟商QSR Management LLC及其管理公司高管Ronny Nader提起诉讼，指控其在史泰登岛21家唐恩都乐门店的约1000名员工中违反了纽约市排班法。该加盟商曾在2022年被要求向100多名员工支付赔偿。
截至发稿时，两家加盟商均未回应置评请求。
去年12月，纽约市宣布星巴克（Starbucks）将支付3890万美元以解决其违反该市排班法的指控。时任市长埃里克·亚当斯（Eric Adams）办公室称这是该市历史上涉及工人保护的最大规模和解案。
在星巴克和解案宣布当天，曼达尼在与参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）共同出席的罢工星巴克员工抗议活动集会上赞扬了这一协议。
塔可钟母公司百胜餐饮集团（Yum! Brands）和唐恩都乐母公司Inspire Brands均未回应置评请求。
纽约市是美国最早限制“待命排班”（on-call scheduling）的城市之一，这种做法指零售、快餐和其他服务行业在几乎没有提前通知的情况下临时呼叫员工或取消班次。俄勒冈州以及洛杉矶、芝加哥、旧金山等其他几个美国城市也已通过了类似法律。
根据公开数据，2025年纽约市针对快餐雇主就可能违反排班法展开了57项调查。
商业团体批评这些法律不切实际，称其可能导致企业裁员。

March 23 (Reuters) – A Taco Bell and Dunkin franchisee has agreed to pay more than $1.5 million to settle claims by New York City that its managers at two dozen restaurants violated a local law requiring fast food businesses to give workers advance notice of their schedules and other protections, the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection said on Monday.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who took office in January, campaigned in part on strengthening enforcement of worker protection laws, and is scheduled to make an announcement about the settlement in the coming days.

Salz Management LLC, according to the city’s worker protection department, routinely failed to give workers sufficient notice of their schedules, pay extra wages for “clopening” shifts that require workers to close a store one night and open it the next morning, and offer available shifts to existing workers before hiring new ones, among other claims.
The city also announced on Monday it is filing suit against another Dunkin franchisee, QSR Management LLC and its managing corporate officer Ronny Nader, on allegations that the business violated New York City scheduling laws for roughly 1,000 workers at 21 Dunkin stores in Staten Island. The same franchisee was required by the city in 2022 to pay relief to more than 100 workers.

Neither franchisee responded to a request for comment by publication time.
In December, New York City announced that Starbucks would pay $38.9 million to settle claims it violated the city’s scheduling law. The office of then-mayor Eric Adams said it was the largest settlement involving worker protection in the city’s history.
On the day the Starbucks settlement was announced, Mamdani praised the agreement at a press conference he held alongside Senator Bernie Sanders at a picket of striking Starbucks workers.
Yum Brands and Inspire Brands, parent companies for Taco Bell and Dunkin respectively, did not respond to a request for comment.
New York City was one of the first in the U.S. to limit “on-call scheduling,” a practice in which retail, fast food and other service businesses call workers in or cancel shifts with little notice. Oregon has adopted a similar law, along with Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and several other U.S. cities.
In 2025, the city opened 57 investigations against fast food employers for possible violations of the scheduling law, according to public metrics.
Business groups have criticized the laws, saying they are unworkable and can lead businesses to cut jobs.
