Out d’Coup LIVE | July 27, 2020 | 717 Restaurant Workers United and Harrisburg DSA

On this week's Out d'Coup Live, we’re talking to Sam Weymouth of 717 Restaurant Workers United and Danny Martin from Harrisburg DSA. 717 Restaurant Workers United is a labor union dedicated to the protection and representation of restaurant workers in the Central Pennsylvania area. They are in the middle of an organizing campaign with restaurant workers Cork and Fork, a restaurant with locations in downtown Harrisburg and Camp Hill.

 

Last Monday, 717 Restaurant Workers United and members of Harrisburg DSA held a "Take-Out Takeover" at both restaurant locations. Organizers urged supporters to order food and let the management know that they stand with Cork & Fork employees. They also encouraged supporters to spread the word on social media with the hashtag #Istandwithcorkandforkworkers' The event was an overwhelming success, according to Tiffany Ramsey, Executive Director of 717 Restaurant Workers United. Workers are waiting to find out the date for their union election.
