Restaurant Opportunities Center
Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) United is a national organization that aims to improve the lives of restaurant workers by advocating for economic stability and thriving futures. Founded in 2001 by restaurant workers displaced from the World Trade Center, ROC United works to address issues such as low wages, wage theft, sexism, racism, and unsafe working conditions in the restaurant industry. With a diverse membership of 65,000 workers, including women, people of color, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQIA community, ROC United trains and develops the leadership of its members to advocate for systemic change in their workplaces and public policy. Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ROC United strives to create a safe and empowering environment for workers from all backgrounds and cultures. Through initiatives like ROC Radio, they aim to amplify the voices of restaurant workers and shed light on important topics such as the transformative CROWN Act, which champions the right to embrace natural hair in the workplace. With a goal of engaging 20% of the nation's restaurant workforce by 2030, ROC United continues to work towards fair, safe, inclusive, and accessible workplaces for all restaurant workers.Generated from the website
