Child labor, mayhem, lewd comments to teen girls alleged at California Popeyes

OAKLAND, Calif. — Children as young as 13 worked illegally, female teen employees were subjected to sexually suggestive comments, and security guards contributed to violent mayhem at a Popeye’s fried-chicken restaurant in Oakland, newly filed worker complaints to state regulators claim. Popeyes said it learned Thursday morning about the worker complaints filed Wednesday with CalOSHA and the California Labor Commissioner, and immediately shut down the restaurant.
