Four Undocumented Restaurant Workers on the Impact of COVID-19 | Eater
"A Chinese restaurant/company where an immigrant employee spent roughly 14 years, advancing from dishwashing to the role of sous chef and learning the craft on the job. The long tenure underscores how such workplaces provide training and steady employment, but the physical toll of kitchen work eventually pushed him into prep-only duties; when the pandemic hit and hours were cut before closure, he lost formal work and had to rely on odd jobs and savings while accepting mutual-aid assistance." - Samanta Helou Hernandez
