Justice for Suspended Safeway Worker Ryan Young
DEL REY OAKS - A local Safeway grocery store suspends a worker after he helped to save a woman's life.
Del Rey Oaks Police said Ryan Young stopped a man from beating his pregnant girlfriend, and possibly saved her life. His actions may cost him his job.
Del Rey Oaks Police said Ryan Young stopped a man from beating his pregnant girlfriend, and possibly saved her life. His actions may cost him his job.
Young was doing his job as a meat clerk when he said he looked up and he saw Quyen Van Tran beating his girlfriend.
Now, a month later, police said Young did the right thing, but Safeway disagrees and suspended him from work without pay and there's no word on if or when he'll be back on the job.

Safeway back peddles!
"We met with Mr. Young and his union representative to discuss the results of our investigation into the incident in our Del Ray Oaks store. After carefully reviewing all of the available information, we have agreed to return Mr. Young to work and to grant him back pay. As we have said from the outset, Mr. Young's decision to intervene on behalf of one of our customers was commendable. Our investigation was intended to ensure that we understood the entire incident as fully as possible and to learn if there were opportunities to resolve the conflict differently. We concluded there were such opportunities in this incident, and we will provide additional training as part of the resolution agreement. Whatever the circumstances, a physical confrontation between an employee and a customer is something we must take very seriously and examine very carefully. We appreciate the customers who took time to share their opinions about this incident, and we appreciate their patience as we completed the process."
