Meet Maritza Casarez and Carolina Portillo who work for ROC
- Restaurant Opportunities Center. ROC
was born in Chicago in 2007. After 9/11, a New York Chapter was organized to
provide support to the restaurant workers who were displaced. ROC-NY leads restaurant workplace justice campaigns,
provides job training and placement, conducts research and policy work --- and
even has its own cooperative restaurant!
ROC educates restaurant workers
all over New York City and advocates for improving working conditions. There
are free training courses for restaurant workers in “Front of the House” – including
Customer Service, Server Training, Specialty Coffee /Barista and NYC Food
Protection Course and Certification as
well as “Back of the House” – Pastry Arts, Basic Cooking, Edible Arrangements and NYC Food Protection Course.
It is responsible for winning 13
workplace justice campaigns against restaurants and gaining millions of dollars
in improvements in workplace policies for restaurant workers.
