THE RESTAURANT WORKER NEWSLETTER: #8
VICTORIES! YES WE CAN! Workers at Gordon Ramsey Fish & Chips, Starbucks at the LINQ Promenade, and Café Belle at Paris Casino organized and won a union. YES WE DID! “I'm very excited that we are going from a non-union position to a union position. The most important union benefit that I’m looking forward to is the health insurance. As a single person and only income in my household, having better wages and healthcare is going to help me a lot. I initially got this job not knowing that it wasn't union and it was a big wake up call to me. I stayed because I knew we needed the union here and that's why I joined the organizing committee. I want other non-union restaurant workers who are fighting for a union to hang in there. Culinary Union will fight alongside us. Yes, we can and we will!”
