Sustainable food must include sustainable working conditions. How do restaurant workers live on some of the lowest wages in America? And how do poor working conditions-discriminatory labor practices, exploitation, and unsanitary kitchens affect the meals that arrive at our restaurant tables? Saru Jayaraman, who founded the national restaurant workers' organization Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, sets out to answer these questions by following the lives of restaurant workers in New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami, Detroit, and New Orleans. Join us for a special book preview and Q&A session with Saru Jayaraman, author and Co-Director of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United.
