As someone that waited tables for a while, the restaurant and service industry is one I'm particularly very invested in promoting livable wages. The fight on poverty in my opinion has to be prioritized and as an economy that is more service oriented, that has to be innovative and truly just. great idea, highlighting work in the community that is positive, love it.

They were structured much differently than the typical male craft-based union, acting more like employment agencies, ensuring skilled labor for member restaurants. The author, Dorothy Sue Cobble, felt that our unions today, which must adapt to the service and professional labor environment, might do better to take that approach, rather than continue to use a model based on work that had been primarily filled by men. what a great idea. it reminds me of a great book I’d read about the history of waitress unions.
