Gourmet Heaven on Broadway
While students took a break from protesting Gourmet Heaven to celebrate the holiday with their families, the deli on Yale property fired four workers in retaliation for their Department of Labor complaint.
On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 the workers will protest to demand their jobs back and their unpaid wages.
The four men, Misael, Isai, Cristian and Julio worked 7 am to 7 pm, 6 days per week, earning $4.16 to $6.25 per hour for three to eight years.
In July 2013, Misael’s brother filed a complaint with the DOL claiming that he was owed nearly $10,000 in unpaid minimum wage and overtime for eleven months of work. The DOL shut down the deli on August 7 and re-opened it when the owner Chung Cho agreed to turn over accounting books to the government.
