Union ruins another Saigon Grill — again!

Don't you just hate it when the little people revolt?
Let them eat cake, I say.

We used to go to the one of E 88th all the time. Good, fast and cheap. It closed for renovations around the time the earlier scandal was getting rolling and never reopened. The corner retail space has now been empty 4 1/2 years. No winners there.

the one in the village had some horrible press not so long ago. i loved the food, but i couldn't deal with the accusations. we quit eating there.

where are they going to work? maybe someplace that treats them with some respect?

maly, it's not the little people's revolt. When these "little people" lose their livelihood (because they have no transferable skills, no language and, thanks to the agitators, no future) where all these political mammals will be? Moving to the next vulnerable underdogs to cost them their jobs?

Exactly, they should be happy to work 70 hours a week for $1.27 an hour. If they are complaining, they're clearly not working hard enough.

No, they should be complaining. But they should not be tricked into burning the only thing that feeds them. I don't have a solution. Tell me if you have one.
The thing is that they will not get ANY job if they lose this one. And, as sideliner said, another empty space will be there. Also, anything to say for doormen?

SO they should continue being abused because there are no other jobs? Well, sometimes people have principle. If the store goes empty, too bad. The owners brought it on themselves.

The next underpaid delivery guy gets it!

Commoner, here is a link to an EEOC fact sheet about the ADEA, for your edification. http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/age.html

If you don't like the law, tell your members of Congress. Maybe they'll agree with you that it's okay not to hire older workers. In the meantime, no restaurant owner may violate the law -- even if you don't agree.

The former owners of Saigon Grill knew what they were doing when they violated the NLRA, they did with impunity and they paid the price.
