Breaking…..The New York Times uncovered something gigantic!

As Walk- In Talk Media is to understand, the restaurant industry is facing a bombshell report that has uncovered a scheme to keep wages low and workers' rights suppressed. According to a New York Times investigation, the National Restaurant Association has been using mandatory food safety classes to force workers to unwittingly fund lobbying against wage increases. 

The report found that the National Restaurant Association has been using a "mandatory" food safety class to force workers to pay for their own training. The fees for the classes are then used to fund the Association's lobbying efforts against wage increases. The Association has also been using the fees to fund its own political activities, including campaign donations to politicians who oppose wage increases.

The report has been met with outrage from workers and labor advocates. They argue that the Association is exploiting workers in order to protect its own interests.
