Democracy for NYC has officially added our name to the list of endorsers in support of the Justice Will Be Served! campaign, a coalition sponsored by the 318 Restaurant Workers Union, Chinese Staff and Worker's Association, and NMAS (National Mobilization Against Sweatshops). Justice Will Be Served! workers are:

  • Calling for a boycott of Flor de Mayo, Saigon Grill and Ollie's restaurants on Manhattan's Upper West Side to protest slave-like conditions and wages as low as $1.25 an hour.
  • Standing up to unfair and divisive labor practices at East Buffet Restaurant in Huntinton, NY.
  • Organizing and winning at Nail Plaza, Food Bazaar supermarket, Our Place restaurant and other workplaces.

With this endorsement, DFNYC joins MBP Scott Stringer; Senator Eric Schneiderman; Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal; Councilmember Gale Brewer; Councilmember Diana Reyna, Community Free Democrats; Park River Independent Democrats; Three Parks Independent Democrats; the NYC Central Labor Council; AFL-CIO, United Autoworkers Region 9A Cap Council; the Union of Clerical, Administrative, and Technical Staff at NYU Industrial Workers of the World.
