King Chef Restaurant Workers Fight Back
|
Boycott King Chef Restaurant located
at Ramapo Plaza Hamburg Turnpike
in Wayne, New Jersey!
We are a group of former workers for King Chef Buffet:
We were threatened and fired after protesting the ILLEGAL and
ABUSIVE working conditions at King Chef. We were forced to work
13 HOUR DAYS, 6 DAYS A WEEK and were threatened with being fired
if we refused. We were paid NO WAGES and NO OVERTIME COMPENSATION,
only tips. We had to PAY $18 A DAY out of our tips TO KEEP OUR
JOBS.
Management:
STEALS TIPS by demanding payments and imposing ILLEGAL FINES;
DISCRIMINATES against women and Fuzhounese workers by calling
us "PIGS," "STUPID," and "DESPICABLE" and by FIRING workers
based on gender and ethnicity; Forces workers to live in UNSAFE
HOUSING, sometimes without electricity; Gives workers FAKE W-2
FORMS to cheat the government and the workers.
NOW WE ARE FIGHTING BACK!!
OUR DEMANDS:
- OUR WAGES MUST BE PAID NOW!
- COMPENSATION FOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HARM!
- AN END TO TIP STEALING AND CHEATING ON TAXES!
- AN END TO GENDER AND ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION!
- STOP TREATING WORKERS LIKE SLAVES!
- THE IRS MUST INVESTIGATE KING CHEF MANAGEMENT FOR TAX
FRAUD!
- THE GOVERNMENT MUST ENFORCE AND IMPROVE LABOR LAWS!
JOIN THE FIGHT!
- BOYCOTT KING CHEF BUFFET and OTHER restaurants that engage
in these practices.
- CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. Nonpayment of wages is a
CRIME and should be a felony in New Jersey with a stiff
penalty instead of a small fine.
