Restaurant workers celebrate
At the Monday Lunch on December 16, four workers, accompanied by members of the wage theft committee, met with the owner of the restaurant who had not paid them. To all of our surprise, he presented them with a check for $2400–one week’s pay for all four. There is still money owed, but everybody celebrated the event!
What a great start for the holiday season! I hope that the rest of the back pay comes along on a reasonable schedule.
