Culinary Local 226 said there are still about 10,000 union members who were laid off during the pandemic who have not been called back to work.
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary union, said contracts for 50,000 workers expire next June, and “we need to start getting ready right now!”
“Workers have fought hard over the past two years to protect everything that we’ve built, and we are not going backwards,” Pappageorge said in a statement. “We are going to move forward and fight back.”
