Editor's note: A previous version of this report said Fight for $15 advocate Deatric Edie was currently a manager at a McDonald's restaurant in Hollywood, Florida, and that she was worried that the restaurant was not prioritizing safety. CNN Business was not able to independently verify that Edie was a McDonald's manager at the location she provided or that she has been employed at a McDonald's restaurant since October 2020. McDonald's did not comment on Edie's employment status. This article has been updated to reflect that.
Former McDonald's manager Deatric Edie was hospitalized last year after getting Covid-19. She missed two months of work, while her bills piled up and an eviction notice was slapped on her door.
She describes the experience as "the scariest thing you can ever imagine in your life. I don't want to go through that again."
