This is a bit extreme... to say the least. Low pay, no benefits, mistreatment by management— is there any wonder why so many restaurant workers are leaving the industry? Change must happen NOW.

"Although most restaurants are still allowed to pay less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, more companies than ever are now offering starting wages of at least $15." If they can increase wages now, they could've done it before. bit.ly/3o66i2h

Meet Jenny, a restaurant worker from North Carolina who has worked in the food industry for 20 years. Listen to her story of why paid family and medical leave is so important for every person in America. #PaidLeaveForAll #SavePaidLeave
Paid leave is supported by labor and business. It will unite our country and help every working family in America. You cannot cut paid leave in a pandemic—you make a legacy of it. #PaidLeaveForAll #SavePaidLeave

people talking about restaurant workers like:
pre-pandemic: "just find a better paying job"
during pandemic: "you are essential heroes!"
post-pandemic: "they're lazy and don't want to work"
We are now in the best position to implement a national paid leave policy to support working families. The pandemic has proven that there is no way to ensure job security when an employee is faced with unforeseen medical/family emergencies. rocunited.org/paid-leave-nat…
