The U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA arm said the chain puts “profits over their employees safety and well-being.”
“Dollar General has shown a pattern of alarmingly willful disregard for federal safety standards, choosing to place profits over their employees’ safety and well-being,” said Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health Doug Parker. “Neighborhood stores exist to support the needs of their communities – the same communities in which many Dollar General employees live – and that support must include following laws designed to keep workers safe from preventable injuries or worse.
Just in the past year, OSHA inspectors say they found emergency exits locked at Dollar Generals; employees under threat of being hit by falling boxes of goods; and fire extinguishers not readily available.
