Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid

Valentines Day is over but we’re still trying to save our space! GoFundMe’s up til 2/22 🖤💛

It feels good to support restaurant workers, Meg Ryan gets it. We love her in 90s rom-coms but we don’t love how cute she made excessive order modifications as Sally Albright.

Cheers to the “I’ll have what she’s having” lady, order like her plz 🥂

and give what’s she’s giving, which is $215 💌

Wait there’s more 🖤💛

Wage theft is more common than you may think and occurs often in the restaurant industry. Wage theft accounts for an estimated $40-60 BILLION dollars a year of lost wages for workers nationally, and is often experienced by restaurant workers in the forms of: illegal tip pool structures, misuse of the tip credit, unpaid overtime, unpaid hours (including but not limited to the practice of staging), owners and managers skimming off tips.

In the past few years workers from several Pittsburgh area restaurants and retailers have spoken up and reported instances of wage theft at their jobs and as a result have been paid back the money that was stolen from them.

Have you had tips or wages stolen from you in the past 2 years? Do you think you may have but are unsure?
The Pitt/Duquesne Law Wage Theft Project is providing FREE legal consultations to workers who have experienced wage theft within the past 2 years. See the QR code on the flyer below for more info.
