Andiamo Reaches Deal In Workers' Dispute
DEARBORN (WWJ) - A Metro Detroit restaurant chain has settled a 15 month-long dispute over alleged wage and employment discrimination.
The Restaurant Opportunities Center of Michigan, a group of former restaurant workers, and Andiamo Restaurant of Dearborn have reached a "confidential agreement" settling their differences.
"This case created a dialogue between the parties which has resulted in all parties being more educated
regarding the concerns of both management and restaurant employees," said ROC-Michigan Coordinator Minsu Longiaru.
"With an open dialogue, management and workers can come together with creative solutions that benefit everyone."
In a statement, an Andiamo spokesperson said the restaurant is pleased with the outcome, adding that there was no finding of wrongdoing by Andiamo in the case.
The UAW and AFL-CIO said their boycott of Andiamo restaurants is officially over. No details were provided about the agreement itself.
