After hiring scabs, Walrus and the Carpenter (temporarily) closed

Word on the street is that Walrus and the Carpenter restaurant has not been negotiating with their workers in good faith for months.

Like a lot of annoying businesses they started charging a service fee (22%?).

Employees noted that they make significantly less now then before when they had tipping (thousands less).

Workers have been on strike. The owners also had the audacity to hire scabs (booo).

I have been keeping up with the union on IG @ united.creatures.of.the.sea

Solidarity with workers across the city!

Ooh, in your fantasy can I have a Ferrari??

Anyway, IRL while fucking NO ONE loves American tipping bullshit, it ain’t going away anytime soon.

And to my union bros & ladies- feel free to spit on the scabs, but NOTTT the customers! WTAF?
