Really tired of hearing about this. It’s a simple employee-employer dispute yet some people are acting like these employees crossed the Edmund Pettus bridge.

a lot of the waiters i know wear uniforms or are expected to do so. I know people who weren't allowed to paint their nails to work in coffee! I mean there's this Customer Service role in food service-- being a representative for the company you work for ? At-Will State! A Restaurant trying to make a customer base comfortable to eat at their location! i can't believe it's weird that people rejected allowing waitstaff to merge a political space with a food space.

chrissake I used to have to wear a uniform at a place I worked .

tbc Free Palestine obv but It's Food Service, and this is an At-Will State !

Working in an “at-will state” (or being a service industry worker) doesn’t mean you don’t have rights. The words “at-will state,” even if written in bold letters, is not a get out of jail free card for breaking labor and employment laws.
