Justice for Suspended Safeway Worker Ryan Young

by Solidarity
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.
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.
