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:
  1. OUR WAGES MUST BE PAID NOW!

  2. COMPENSATION FOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HARM!

  3. AN END TO TIP STEALING AND CHEATING ON TAXES!

  4. AN END TO GENDER AND ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION!

  5. STOP TREATING WORKERS LIKE SLAVES!

  6. THE IRS MUST INVESTIGATE KING CHEF MANAGEMENT FOR TAX FRAUD!

  7. THE GOVERNMENT MUST ENFORCE AND IMPROVE LABOR LAWS!


JOIN THE FIGHT!
  1. BOYCOTT KING CHEF BUFFET and OTHER restaurants that engage in these practices.

  2. 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.

  3. JOIN THE "JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!" CAMPAIGN by calling
    the American Civil Liberties Union-New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) Immigrant Workers Rights Project at (973) 642-2086,
    the National Mobilization Against SweatShops (NMASS) at (718) 625-9091,
    or the Chinese Staff and Workers' Association (CSWA) at (212) 619-7979.
