What Are America’s Worst Restaurants for Workers?
It appears that no matter how delicious the food at your favorite restaurant seems to be, it has nothing to do with how the business operates on the inside. Recently, a pro-worker group called Restaurant Opportunities Centers United produced a guide–mentioned in NY Times Columnist Mark Bittman‘s column–that lists many of America’s most popular restaurants with the purpose of letting you know just how badly the employees of that restaurant are treated.
The guide ranks the restaurants on a number of criteria. For example, does said restaurant pay a minimum wage to their tipped and non-tipped workers? Do they give sick pay, and how much of a chance is there of advancement within the restaurant? You’d be surprised at some of the establishments made the list. Even worse, some of our favorites received a “0″ rating or an “unknown” in several major categories. This means that the restaurant didn’t achieve even the slightest check mark for the minimal standards of treatment of their employees.
Let’s take a look at just some of the worst restaurants for employees.
