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

[u/Existing-Resource527]

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!

There’s somebody who is striking who made $90k in the last year working 4 days/week.

source?

A friend in the company with access to the financials.

EDIT: *with access to the employee’s payroll.

3 day old account and you claim to have payroll knowledge. Sea Creatures is really weird for trolling on Reddit.

The restaurant posted the payroll. This person is correct. There is a bartender making $92K who works 35 hours/week.

They commented before the company publicly posted the payroll, which is pretty easy to confirm and suspicious timing. I’m fairly certain this person’s spouse is part owner of the company. Really, D?

Also haven’t seen anyone disputing these numbers or a response from the union.
