The #restaurant #industry has long coordinated efforts to suppress labor costs through the #NRA, a multimillion-dollar #lobbying machine funded both by its restaurant members and by the fees #workers pay for required food-safety classes, according to a recent New York Times report.

The group has spent its #war chest on lobbying campaigns to preserve a subminimum #wage for tipped workers — who are disproportionately young, women, and people of color, and far more likely to live in #poverty than regular minimum wage workers — and to help block state and federal sick leave proposals and minimum wage increases.

But now, restaurant executives are on edge. #Union campaigns are suddenly penetrating their industry, which employs about 10 percent of the American #workforce and has one of the lowest #unionization rates of any sector. Over the past few years, baristas have #unionized nearly 280 Starbucks stores in the face of enormous odds, and dozens of other coffee #shops and restaurants have followed suit.

“The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, every newspaper reports on every union win… when an unfair labor practice charge is filed, when there are challenges to elections,” said Felice Ekelman, a principal at Jackson Lewis, one of the oldest and most infamous union avoidance law firms in the country. “When did this become first page #news?”

“And guess who’s reading it?” replied Laura Pierson-Scheinberg, one of Ekelman’s Jackson Lewis colleagues, as the two sat across from each other on the main stage of the summit. “My kids. Literally. I have an 18-year-old, my kids are into it.”

The two lawyers were discussing a new threat for the restaurant industry: the unexpected rise of union campaigns in workplaces that, for decades, have largely been immune from such organizing efforts.

“Before, I used to say… ‘[Unionization] isn’t a problem for you in the restaurant industry,’” said Pierson-Scheinberg. But now, she warned, “Kids do not care about paying union dues. Two percent of pay, are you kidding me? Their Netflix costs more. They think it’s a hell of a deal.”

The “kids,” she added, are #organizing #workplaces which would have previously seemed unreachable.

A day in #history:

On August 16, 1997, in #Utah, #USA, four #ALF #activists burned down a #McDonalds #restaurant. The total amount of damages is 400,000 dollars. The next day, 2 Molotov cocktails were thrown at #CosmosFurs, #Illinois. And already on August 19, the ALF set fire to the office of #Wildlife #Pharmaceuticals.

Hear me out:

A restaurant called,
"Serious Gourmet Shit"

The food will be absolutely delicious, but will be carefully prepared to look absolutely disgusting.

We will serve you steaming turds on a plate, and bright yellow piss in a cup.

You will literally eat shit, and love it!

Oh my goodness oh my goodness! 😃 What a find! 😊🚴‍♀️

One of my fave #restaurant chains has a branch with semi* al fresco seating where you can have your #bike next to you while you dine! 😄

I say semi* al fresco because it's semi sheltered. Enough shelter from the sun and light rain, but still outdoors. They can't say you can't bring your bike here. 🤪

🤫 We'll just pretend it's a baby stroller, okay?

Ah, but...

Alas, it's not in a neighborhood I normally visit. 🤷‍♀️

This li'l #restaurant's been open quite some time now. Often empty, never full. I always pass this one by. I'm happy just going to my old favorites.

It's not any of my #business but I do worry about businesses failing.
Makes me sad.
Not just for the owner/s who had #dreams and bravely set up shop, but for the workers who suddenly have to find another #job.

So, I'll give this one a try. I'm the second customer. You need people inside to draw more to come. Just being there helps already.

Haben Sie reserviert?

Einfach mal so ins Café, in die Kneipe oder ins Restaurant? Das ist oft gar nicht mal so einfach. Aber warum ist das so? Ich habe leider nur Fragen, keine Antworten dazu.

Incidentally, I've also become mostly #vegetarian because of it, because I don't really care about making stuff with #meat that often.

Seems I only eat meat when I eat at a #restaurant or order in, which is quite rare these days because I prefer to #cook myself.
