Liberato Restaurant Tries To Silence Workers With Federal Racketeering, RICO Suit with . Omar Taveras, former Liberato worker . Mahoma Lopez, Laundry Workers Center representative . Ria Julien, workers attorney
Liberato Restaurant workers joined by community supporters and workers rights advocates, such as the grassroots workers rights organization the Laundry Workers Center continue to exercise their right to protest against wage and hour theft, sexual harassment and verbal abuses, despite Liberato Restaurants attempts to silence them. Liberato, in an unprecedented action has brought a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations ( RICO ) lawsuit accusing the workers of extortion. Liberato server Maggy Andres, said we are here today demanding what we are owed. The RICO case is an attempt to silence us, and it will not work. Liberato stole our money and we demand what we are owed by the law and better conditions in our workplace. Until that happens, we will be out here demanding justice for ourselves, our co-workers, and all exploited workers ************************ Remembering the Triangle Fire with Sophia Henderson Holmes
