Workers Struggles

TOMORROW! URGENT ACTION! Immigrant Workers Continue Their Fight for Justice The workers have brought their demand for payment of $183,500 in non-payment of wages and overtime to U.S. District Court in Massachusetts! What: With the legal support of Greater Boston Legal Services a group of Latino immigrant workers and members of Centro Presente have brought their demand for payment of $183,500 in non-payment of wages and overtime to U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. "We have been fighting this case for nearly a year and now finally we've had enough and we're going to court to get what we earned," stated Marcos Che Cucul one of the affected workers. The workers were employed by Mumbai Chopstix located on Newbury Street in Boston, Bukhara in Jamaica Plain, Diva Indian Bistro in Somerville's Davis Square and Cafe of India in Cambridge. These restaurants are part of Amrik S. Pabla's One World Cuisine restaurant group. The workers first came to Centro Presente almost a year ago with their case and have since been managing their public campaign to get their rightfully earned wages through negotiating with the owners. In the process they learned about their labor rights and educated the general public about immigrant labor exploitation. Where: Diva Indian Bistro, 246 Elm Street, Somerville, MA. When: Tomorrow, Friday, November 2nd at 6:00 p.m. For more info please contact: Patricia Montes at 617.959.3108 COME DOWN TO DAVIS SQUARE TOMORROW NIGHT AND SUPPORT IMMIGRANT WORKERS IN STANDING UP FOR THEIR LABOR RIGHTS!! ¡UNION! ¡PODER! ¡JUSTICIA! # # # Centro Presente is a state-wide, membership-based Latino immigrant organization that advocates for immigrant rights and for economic and social justice through the integration of community organizing, leadership development and basic services.
