The Restaurant Economy: Restaurant Industry as a Model for Divide and Conquer Service Capitalism The restaurant industry is now the largest private sector employer in the United States. Sheer size creates a downward tug for the rest of the private sector, not to mention the service sector. However it’s not just size that is spilling over into the rest of the economy, other employers are taking the restaurant industry’s lead in a number of areas, including:
“Flexible” work schedules, “Contingent” labor arrangements, “Race-to-the-bottom” conditions.
This workshop will focus on strategies ROC is employing to transform the industry. The hope is that others can learn and teach on our frame.
