Restaurant #unions are exceedingly rare: only around 1.6 percent of #restaurantworkers are represented by a union, compared to just shy of 10 percent of workers nationwide. Meanwhile, the industry is the second-largest employer in the country: today, more than 15 million Americans work in restaurants, or about 10 percent of the country’s workforce.

A worker from the Bobcats United IWW Campaign reports from this October. The workers were forced to go public early & were unjustly fired, but were able to secure severance pay!
