Employees Take a Stand: Walkout at Touchstone's Hollywood Boulders After Shooter Threat
Employees at Touchstone's Hollywood Boulders walked out after management failed to inform them of a shooter threat made by a gym member. The threatening messages, which included references to having a weapon and wanting to harm people, were reported to the police, who deemed them not a threat to the gym. However, staff members felt their rights to informed consent were violated and demanded transparency, mental health intervention for the member, increased security measures, and back-pay or hazard pay for the days they worked or missed due to safety concerns. Some employees quit, and the gym reopened with armed security guards.
