Employees Speak Out on Safety During Winter Storm

Location: USA Travel Plaza #8 (629 HWY 3033, West Monroe)

According to some employees, management instructed staff to continue working while weather conditions worsened, even after damage was discovered inside the building. Some workers say they expressed safety concerns but felt pressured to stay, despite management allegedly calling out, leaving one shift-leader without relief since 5 AM.

Employees also report receiving a text message from their boss allegedly stating it was time to see who was dedicated to their job or not, which they interpreted as discouraging them from leaving due to safety concerns. At this time, the claims have not been independently verified, and the employer has not publicly responded. Multiple attempts were made for comment, but I was unable to reach a representative.

A family member of an employee expressed concern, as the employee is young and not experienced for this kind of situation.

No injuries have been confirmed, and it is unclear whether any formal complaints have been filed.
