The Seattle Eggslut Location Changed Its Controversial Window Coverings | Eater Seattle
"The celebrated steakhouse from Renee Erickson temporarily closed to 'reimagine' the restaurant after chef de cuisine Taylor Thornhill and general manager Jamie Irene departed; both have since taken roles with Marcus Lalario's restaurant group, with the GM moving into a director-of-operations role overseeing multiple restaurants and the chef moving to lead the kitchen at a Georgetown Mediterranean spot." - Harry Cheadle
Workers at Seattle Restaurant the Walrus and the Carpenter Have Unionized | Eater Seattle
"This innovative steakhouse was among the group’s locations to switch from a tipping model to a 22% service charge, a change employees say reduced servers’ incomes despite an increased base hourly rate; that shift helped spur a successful union drive. Management attributes a recent temporary closure to a plan to "refresh and retool," while union organizers contend the shutdown harms bargaining power by cutting union membership and insist the employer must bargain under the National Labor Relations Act about layoff and rehiring terms. Workers at the location are bargaining to reduce the service charge to about 10% (and to encourage customer tipping again) and say they would accept lower hourly wages to make such a change feasible." - Harry Cheadle
