Saigon Grill delivery workers courageously protesting unfair and unlawful working conditions, have had a victory.  A U.S. District Court judgment of $4.6 million was awarded to 36 employees of Saigon Grill Restaurant for labor law violations.  For two years, delivery works with the support of Justice Will Be Served!, Democracy for NYC and other community groups, have been picketing Saigon Grill Restaurants on the Upper West Side and University Place.

These workers were fired in March 2007 in retaliation for planning to bring a lawsuit against the owners Simon and Michelle Nget. The workers were represented by Davis Polk & Wardwell in conjunction with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and organized by Chinese Staff & Workers' Association and 318 Restaurant Workers Union.

Picketing and boycotting of targeted restaurants will continue.  Contact Justice Will Be Served!   for details.
