The AFL-CIO, several Detroit community groups, and UAW president Bob King have joined in calling for a boycott of 11 restaurants in southeast Michigan. The chain came under fire when the Restaurant Opportunity Center (ROC-Michigan) filed a $125,000 lawsuit, charging the business with illegally firing several employees for attempting to organize with ROC. The restaurant settled the NLRB claim by paying one worker $30 in back wages and posting a list of behaviors management would not engage in. Restaurant owner Joe Vicari denied all of the charges against the business.
