Union, Prosecutor Team to Push Papa John’s to Pay More


X post in GD and Labor

Not a good source, but it seems to have a story. Marta and I stopped getting PJ's pizza after the Obamacare controversy. The local store closed a couple months after that. It did reopen with a new owner.

A union operative generously praised New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman when he announced he was taking a Papa John’s pizza franchisee to court on behalf of workers who claim they were underpaid. The state attorney general, like the unions, called it “wage theft.”

The thing is, the union official knew about the government’s lawsuit before the pizza franchisee did.

“Fast-food workers all across the city and country are organizing for higher pay and union rights,” said Kendall Fells, organizing director for Fast Food Forward, a group dedicated to increasing wages and benefits for fast-food workers. Fells added:

This suit shows why their campaign is so important. And it shows that Attorney General Schneiderman is serious about holding fast-food companies accountable for wage theft.
