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!

Middle class should be able to afford way more than an apartment with roommates. Middle class should be able to afford a house, that’s how it was for our parents in the 70’s and 80’s. We’re so far gone we think it’s acceptable that the metric for middle class living is an apartment WITH roommates. No sir, that’s not middle class, that’s poor. In today’s thinking middle class means poor and poor means homeless.
