FRIDAY THE 13TH: Good Luck Comes to Good Bosses!

Join us for our picket line to support our union brothers and sisters at HS Lordships!

Workers at HS Lordships have been bargaining for a contract for more than four years. These longtime workers are asking for a fair contract, but management continues to propose drastic cuts in medical benefits. Workers have offered to give up sick days and vacation time and participate in a new healthcare plan with an increased deductible and reduced benefits. The restaurant, however, continues to propose making it harder for workers to qualify for healthcare.

At the restaurant, servers make $9 an hour and pay more than $500 per month for family insurance. Workers are fighting for affordable medical insurance and saying “NO MORE” to skyrocketing healthcare costs!

“I have worked at HS Lordships restaurant for ten years. I am a mother of six boys, and my family needs medical insurance in order to provide for and protect our children so they can grow and develop in the healthiest way possible. We need medical insurance that is accessible and affordable so that our basic needs can be met.”
-Adelaida Cisneros, Pantry Cook
