Worker-leaders at Chinese restaurant M.Y. Noodles in Sonoma County stood up together to call for an intimidation-free process to unionize in November 2014. Restaurant management refused to honor the workers’ voices and continues to refuse to this day. Despite the disregard and denial, M.Y. Noodles workers remain strong. On July 21, they’re going to march through San Francisco to show that they and all the restaurant workers organizing across the Bay Area stand together in their fights for respect.
A groundswell of restaurant worker organization is sweeping across the United States as workers stand up in pursuit of better futures for themselves and their families. Bay Area restaurant workers are at the forefront of the struggle, organizing, fighting, and winning in their workplaces. Workers at forward-thinking San Francisco dim sum institution Yank Sing stood up and were able to negotiate a $4 million settlement and comprehensive benefit agreement in 2014. Fast food workers from all corners of the Bay stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters fighting nationally, leading the charge for $15 an hour and a union. M.Y. Noodles workers continue their fight for a fair process to unionize and won’t stop until they win the respect they deserve.
To show the solidarity and strength of all Bay Area restaurant workers, M.Y. Noodles workers will lead a march for respect on July 21. The march will begin at the Powell St. Cable Car turnaround and head up Powell to Sutter St. before ending with a rally in Union Square.
We, Bay Area restaurant workers, have stood up in our workplaces for better futures. On July 21, we’re going to march in the streets for respect. Come march with us!

However, management has ignored our rights as workers.”

“I have stood up to management with my co-workers.
We have requested management give us a fair process to organize, but so far they have not been willing to agree.”
