Tues., 4/3 - Sunny & Pleasant, & Lots of Jazz & Opera Singers Singing for Restaurant Worker Justice!
Tuesday, April 3rd is the 40th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Hundreds of opera-goers will be eating across the street from Lincoln Center at Cafe Fiorello, where restaurant workers will work long hours and MANAGERS WILL STEAL THEIR TIPS!! Join ROC-NY members and allies as we perform
Opera Against Oppression!
Over the last year and a half we at ROC-NY have been campaigning against the Fireman Hospitality Group - Cafe Fiorello, Redeye Grill, Shelly's, Trattoria Dell Arte, Brooklyn Diner, and Bond 45 - to fight for $10 million in unpaid wages, stolen tips, sexual harassment, and racial discrimination. The company agreed to mediation in January, and we made a good deal of progress both in the mediation and in terms of policy changes in the restaurant. WE ARE SO CLOSE, but the company is stalling on this last mile. So we really need your help!
Please join us, Tuesday, April 3rd, 5-7pm
5-5;45 - Rally at Cafe Fiorello, 63rd & Broadway (1 to 66th St.)
5:45-6:15pm - March down Broadway & 7th Ave.
6:15-7pm - Rally at Redeye Grill, 56th & 7th Ave (1/A/B/C/D to 59th St., N/R/W/Q to 57th St.), F to 57th St. (at 6th Ave.), E to 7th Ave. (at 53rd St.)
