You have the right to be free from hate, sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination at work. Your Culinary Union contract has strong protections for you and enforces your rights. Your organizers and shop stewards at work also know your rights and they can help you enforce that contract language.
WAYS CULINARY UNION MEMBERS ARE PROTECTED:
- Men and women in union positions are paid the same (while across the United States, women are paid $.82 cents for every dollar a man earns).
- Culinary Union members can have medical leave for up to 6-months.
- You can have leave up to 12-months for maternity, placement of child (adoption/foster), and child bonding. You are able to return back to work with job, seniority, shift, and wages protected.
- You have a voice and choice in uniform in regards to wearing pants or skirts, high-heel size, shoe types, ability to negotiate against revealing uniforms, diverse range of uniform sizes, and accommodating maternity uniform options.
- Older workers cannot be discriminated against on the basis of their age or denied work opportunities and promotions.
- You are protected against sexual harassment and gender discrimination, and when cases arise, there is a clear grievance procedure so that you have a pathway to justice; and with the Culinary Union’s advocacy, you can win lost wages or be brought back to work if unfairly retaliated against/ terminated.
- In some contracts, there are protections detailing security in regards to employee parking lots being well-lit, patrolled, and maintained.
- Culinary Union members have no monthly-premium family health care, with free generic prescription drugs, low copays, and full-coverage benefits including mental health counseling, and drug and alcohol treatment.
- Comprehensive sexual harassment protections at work, which includes a no tolerance policy for misconduct by a guest or VIP customer.
- Safety buttons for workers.
- Worker-centered safety language, including a guest room attendant can call a security guard to enter a room with them to ensure their safety.
- Culinary Union members who have Temporary Protected Status or are DREAMers have 5-year job protection as they adjust immigration status.
- A guest room attendant can call a security guard to enter a room with them to ensure their safety.
We do not tolerate the harassment or assault of any Culinary Union member.
