Workers at Hot & Crusty restaurant picket each Thursday (shown here on July 5) to reinforce their position as negotiations continue with the bosses. On May 23, workers at the 63rd Street location voted to certify an independent grassroots union, the Hot & Crusty Workers Association, with 20 of 22 eligible employees submitting their vote to the National Labor Relations Board. Lawyers representing the mainly immigrant workers also filed a civil lawsuit about overtime and minimum wage violations, as well as other issues.
