The Restaurant Opportunities Center-United is the only national organization dedicated to restaurant workers’ rights. ROC supports restaurant workers across the sector on campaigns for paid sick days, raising the tipped minimum wage (which stands at $2.13 an hour) and dignity in the workplace. In Milwaukee, we have the opportunity on Monday, February 13, to join ROC in the fight against discrimination and wage theft. ROC-Milwaukee will have its first DAY OF ACTION on Monday at the Capital Grille on Wisconsin and 4th Street at 6:30 PM.
Here’s the backstory:
On January 31, Capital Grille workers in New York, Chicago, and in the Washington, DC area filed federal litigation against Capital Grille’s parent company Darden for discrimination and wage theft. Darden restaurants include Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and Capital Grille. Darden employees of all races have reported racial discrimination, lack of breaks, tipped minimum wage (of $2.13 an hour) and hostile work environments for years.
Event Details:
Where: Capital Grille, 310 W Wisconsin Avenue
When: Monday, February 13 at 6:30 PM
Who: Workers, families, consumers, and allies
Why: In solidarity with the hundreds of workers hired and fired by Capital Grille Steakhouses nationwide, ROC lets Capital Grille know that consumers and workers won’t stand for oppressive workplace conditions anymore.
