Thursday morning, more than a dozen Dollar General employees and workers’ rights advocates assembled to demand better safety measures in the workplace.

They lined the sidewalk in front of the Dollar General near Bell Road and Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch, which appeared to be closed due to parking lot maintenance during the rally.
