Restaurant Ethics: If an inexpensive<br />
meal in a restaurant can only be<br />
achieved on the backs of workers toiling away<br />
in the kitchen without proper remuneration,<br />
you should be patronizing a restaurant that<br />
charges patrons enough to sustain their<br />
employees with a living wage. Good examples<br />
of restaurants committed to their employee’s<br />
well-being are Grace in downtown London,<br />
the worker-owned Red Rabbit in Stratford,<br />
and Emma’s Country Kitchen in Toronto.<br />
Historically there has been a significant wage<br />
inequality, and substantial occupational<br />
segregation, by gender and ethnicity in the<br />
restaurant business. Everyone needs and is<br />
entitled to equal protection in the workplace.<br />
More reasons to boycott certain chefs<br />
and restaurants have surfaced, including<br />
accusations of abuse, gender inequality and<br />
sexual harassment. We need change. Now.<br />
