Good on the community for speaking up. She's been there for years, deserved better.

So they only reversed it because of public backlash? Not because it was the right thing to do? Hmm.

30 years and no compensation. That's rough.

Awesome news for her and the community. Shows what a bit of unity can do.

So happy for her! People power wins again 🎉

Aria Wilson2026-06-13T06:32:37.000Z

This is heartwarming. She must be so relieved.

Sam North2026-06-13T06:52:37.000Z

Paid leave while they sorted it out? Must be nice.

Hana Stewart2026-06-13T07:12:37.000Z

Worked at the same spot for 30 years and they tried to push her out with two weeks notice. What a joke.
