Stop Lies, Threats & Discrimination Against Union Workers! --

BOYCOTT GOLDEN BRIDGE RESTAURANT

Located at 50 Bowery Street just below the corner of Canal Street in Manhattan.

PICKET SCHEDULE:

* Picket schedules may be subject to change, so try to call a day ahead of time.

Phillip Wu, the owner of Golden Bridge Restaurant and the Dynasty Supermarket chain, made slanderous statements and threats against members of 318 Restaurant Workers' Union (318 RWU).

• Mr. Wu spread the word around that management "bought off" 318 RWU and its members.
• At a September 24, 2004 press conference, Phillip Wu, through his spokesperson discriminated against 318 union members and stated that the union workers applying for jobs at Golden Bridge are an "evil group of people". Later, Phillip Wu and his company further elaborated that 318 was an "illegal organization".
• Phillip Wu's representatives used video cameras to record 318 workers who were applying for jobs, and then publicly threatened the workers' union representative, by saying "watch it c*nt!"
• On another occasion, two union members on their way home after a union meeting, found two Golden Bridge affiliated thugs with a video camera waiting for them outside of the building. The thugs asked the union members threateningly "Are you going home now? Where do you live?"

We, the workers, will not take it anymore. We DEMAND that Golden Bridge Restaurant and Phillip Wu:

1. Immediately stop discriminating against union workers
2. Stop making threats against union workers;
   
3. Publicly apologize to the workers;
4. Immediately hire 318 members who have been discriminated against, and compensate for losses suffered by the workers.

We will continue to picket Golden Bridge Restaurant as long as Phillip Wu and the restaurant's management refuses to apologize to us for the harm they have done.

The actions of the 318 RWU members are being supported by workers of Jing Fong Restaurant, Harmony Palace Restaurant, 88 Palace Restaurant, Ocean Palace Restaurant, Jade Plaza Restaurant and CLM Restaurant.
