Join ROC-DC Worker's Rights Protest

01/30/2012 - 7:30pm
Etc/GMT
Location: 
Friendship Heights Metro Station, Jenifer Street Exit
ROC-DC in continuing to hold the Darden Corporation and Capital Grille Restaurant accountable for their culture of discrimination and wage/hour violations. Just last week we met another back of the house Capital Grille worker, Alex, who had been fired unjustly in 2008, and who now supports the campaign. And as the campaign develops across the country, more and more workers from various Darden Restaurant locations (Capital Grille, Red Lobster, Oliver Garden, Texas Long Horn Steak House, Seasons 52, and Bahama Breeze) are emailing us and coming forward with stories and support. It's exciting and the buzz is growing from our new Diner's Guide (ROC National Diner's Guide), from various media hits (NY Daily News, Orlando Sentinal), and of course from everyone's word-of-mouth support.
Please join ROC-DC for the month of January at this exciting action:
 
Join ROC-DC for a creative escalation to put pressure on the Darden Corporation to come to the negotation table. Details to be revealed soon....
 
Date: Monday, January 30, 2012
Time: TBD
Initial Group Meet Up Location: Friendship Heights Metro Station, Jenifer Street Exit
