[Eric Dirnbach]

Interesting tactic - a new campaign just started at Dishes in Midtown, and supporters are writing negative Yelp reviews. Check it out. Could be useful for Domino's and other local campaigns as well.

#DirtyDishes: Retaliate? We escalate! View this email in your browser Friday, March 15, 2013. 12-4pm #DirtyDishes: Rehire the Illegally Fired Workers Now! On Wednesday, after years of wage theft, abuse and exploitation, workers at “Dishes“, a popular upscale Midtown restaurant, marched on their exploitative boss and delivered a demand letter.   In an illegal and cowardly act, the owner of “Dishes” retaliated by firing two of the workers who stood up against injustice in their workplace.  ACTION TODAY Leaflet "Dishes" 3/15 12-4pm  Workers and community, labor, Occupy and religious allies will be leafleting ”Dishes” today (3/15) from 12-4pm. Come out and stand against illegal retaliation: for ten minutes, on your lunch break, or for the afternoon. The workers must be immediately rehired! Where: Dishes; 6 E. 45th St., between 5th Ave. and Madison. When: Friday 3/15 12-4pm   More info YELP #DIRTYDISHES TODAY! Write an Online Review  of "Dishes"  Would you eat at a restaurant that steals from their workers and fires them for standing up for their rights? Write a review on Yelp! and let "Dishes" know that their illegal retaliation will not be tolerated by the New York community. Workers have a right to collective action in the workplace. Be sure to mention it if you're a former "Dishes" customer. More info Next Picket: Sunday 3/17 2pm... St. Paddy's Day at Golden Farm. Only a snake steals from his workers!
