"'I’ve quit other restaurants, including the last one I worked, because of sexual harassment. I don’t want to quit Pastis because through our union, I finally see a way forward.'" - Danielle Katz, Server at Pastis

STARR Workers are sick and tired of the rampant disrespect they must deal with at work -- which is one of many reasons they are seeking to unionize. (2/2) #organize #unionyes #dc #hotunionwinter #dcrestaurants #dcfoodie #dcfood #dcnews #restaurantworkers #restaurantnews

STARR workers are speaking out! Workers at Pastis, St. Anselm, and Le Diplomate – operated by STARR restaurants – are organizing a union. They report sexual harassment from managers and significant, ongoing challenges faced by Spanish-speaking pregnant workers and mothers. 🧵(1/2)

@dcculinaryunion.bsky.social workers are standing together, ready to fight for their respect, stability, and a seat at the table. And they have 15 million of their union siblings in America’s unions standing in solidarity with them.

Check out the ~hottest~ fashion accessory in DC this Winter 🔥 When dining at DC Starr Restaurants, make sure to wear a cute sticker to show restaurant staff that you support their union!!

We’ll be outside select restaurants on weeknights handing out stickers -- or DM us to get yours! 👀

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social marched with @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social workers last night to demand respect, stability and a stronger voice on the job at some of DC’s top restaurants.

Workers showed that Starr and Knightsbridge's union-busting tactics won’t break their solidarity.

Amazing turnout at yesterday's march! Hundreds of supporters from across the DMV said loud and clear that they support our organizing! #Solidarity #organize #dc #restaurantworkers #dcnews #dcfoodie #union #hotunionwinter

We’re on the ground with @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social as they march on DC to fight for their union! #SolidarityForever

@dcculinaryunion.bsky.social workers are standing up and fighting for fair wages, good benefits, and a stronger voice on the job, and 15 million of their union siblings are standing in solidarity with them ✊ #BetterInAUnion

Hardworking Americans deserve fair wages and respect on the job.

Proud to join @laborcaucus.bsky.social and stand with these brave restaurant workers in their fight to unionize with @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social I'll always stand with unions in Maryland and across the country.

If you eat at Rasika, Le Diplomate or St. Anselm make sure to leave a note in support of workers who are organizing their union! #dcfood #dcfoodie

When we eat at a restaurant or stay at a hotel, it is important to know that the people who serve us are being treated right.

It was a pleasure to meet with reps of @unitehere.org @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social today to discuss ways we can deliver for workers.

We said up UP with the workers, down DOWN with the bosses! Solidarity to @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social photo credit to @ireneyk.bsky.social

As a union electrician, I know what it means to fight for a living wage and fair treatment at work. I stand with @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social workers at Le Diplomate, Rasika, and others as they organize for dignity on the job and a fair day's wage for a hard day's work.

Workers at some of DC's top restaurants are fighting for fair wages and respect on the job. Labor Caucus members are proud to stand with these brave workers in their fight to unionize with @dcculinaryunion.bsky.social.

Thank you Rep. Olszewski for standing shoulder to shoulder with workers who are fighting not just to change their lives for the better - but who are fighting to make the restaurant industry equitable once and for all! ✊ #solidarity #union #unionyes #dc #restaurantworkers #dcfood #hotunionwinter

This past Thursday DC Restaurant Workers visited Capitol Hill. Throughout the day, we met with 27 Congressional Offices and 18 Congressional Representatives to talk about our organizing efforts. We continue to meet with more Congresspeople to brief them on our growing movement! #dctrestaurants #dc
