Terrance Brennan, Honor Your Word to the Workers of Wild Edibles!
Workers at the Wild Edibles seafood company are striving to win respect for the hard work they put in everyday. Over forty of New York's most prominent restaurants have stopped serving seafood processed by Wild Edibles because of the overwhelming evidence of workers' rights violations there.
Celebrity chef Terrance Brennan's Artisanal Bistro stated in writing that it was no longer using Wild Edibles after being informed of the labor abuses taking place including unlawfully withholding overtime pay and illegal union-busting against workers who support the Industrial Workers of the World labor union. But after being exposed for continuing to serve Wild Edibles, Brennan admitted to the news media that he was still in fact serving seafood from the company.
Now, Terrance Brennan is set to show off with fellow celebrity chefs at the fancy New York City Wine & Food Festival. Come join a spirited protest to show Brennan that New Yorkers respect hard work as well as the contribution of immigrants and all workers to society:
