Workers, supporters ‘occupy’ NYC cafe
Published Jan 25, 2012 8:34 PM
Organizers and workers connected with the Laundry Workers Center held their first action of what they call a “Workers Led Workplace Justice Campaign” on Jan. 21 on the East Side of Manhattan. Dozens of people from the workplace, Occupy Wall Street and other pro-worker forces gathered first at a concrete park at Third Avenue and 64th Street for a short rally where the workers’ grievances were explained. The group then held a short march to 1201 Second Ave., the site of a Hot & Crusty cafe, and marched in for a guerrilla occupation, showing the bosses that the underpaid and abused immigrant work staff had many friends.
