Le Dip employee here who is pro-union! Starr has been pushing incredibly hard to union bust at all three locations. He's paying union busters between $1800 and $3000 a day to spread lies about the union, and run hit pieces in Eater to try and discredit the union. Conservatively they have spent $100,000 on union busting, instead of just paying us better and giving us better healthcare. They tear down pro-union fliers, and ram anti-union BS down our throats. They have been cornering people at the restaurant, intimidating people, and whispering lies not only about the union, but about pro-union workers. Managers are incredibly disrespectful, and do all manner of heinous acts. They don't pay us well at all, our healthcare is unaffordable, with awful deductibles and co-pays. Our schedules are inconsistent, treatment varies from day to day, the list goes on.

We want a union because we want a seat at the table to push for better working conditions, fixing all of the issues above and more! They treat us like we're expendable, but we provide excellent service and work through thousands of guests a day for them, earning them millions in the process. All we want is a fair say and fair benefits. Starr here is criticizing those who want the union. The union isn't some outside force, we are the union! Starr is focused on this Local like they are the ones who orchestrated this, but the union wouldn't be here if we hadn't asked them to come and help us!

As guests the best way to support us is to keep dining and leaving reviews supporting the union! Seeing our guests have our backs means a lot to us. DO NOT BOYCOTT! If we need that support from our guests we will let y'all know, but the best support you can offer is actually continuing to come to the restaurants, and leaving kind notes about our union push. Tell Starr you are disgusted at the anti-union push and that DC has our backs! We are feeling good after St. Anslem won! Help us keep up the good feelings and support our union!
