Misconduct in Restaurants Can Only Change If Bad Men Divest | Eater

"A pizza restaurant within a larger group has become the site of staff revolt after allegations that the majority owner fostered a sexually hostile workplace; managers resigned when the owner failed to divest by a staff deadline, other employees called in sick and picketed, and organizers argued that allowing an owner to remain a profit recipient implicitly condones the behavior. At the same time, some staff have signed letters urging restorative justice and support for the owner’s rehabilitation, leaving the business sharply divided over whether change requires divestment or can come through internal reforms." - Meghan McCarron
