WE ARE POWER.  WE ARE STRONG.  WHO ARE WE?  ROC-MICHIGAN!

Who We Are

With over 134,000 employees, the restaurant and food service industry is one of metro Detroit's largest private-sector employers, but behind the kitchen door, workers confront numerous challenges.  Most don't receive a livable wage.  Regular raises, benefits or overtime pay, and opportunities for advancement are limited.  Health, safety, and employment laws are often violated.  Verbal abuse and sexual harassment are common.  The situation behind the kitchen door has negative consequences for consumers and employers alike.

What We Do

ROC-Michigan is dedicated to improving working conditions and increasing opportunities for advancement in restaurants nationwide for the collective benefit of workers, employers, and consumers.  We take a three-pronged approach to achieving change in the restaurant industry:

• CAMPAIGNING FOR WORKPLACE JUSTICE

• PROMOTING THE 'HIGH-ROAD' TO PROFITABILITY

• CONDUCTING RESEARCH & POLICY WORK

How You Can Get Involved

• IF YOU ARE A RESTAURANT WORKER

• IF YOU ARE A RESTAURANT EMPLOYER

• IF YOU ARE AN ALLY OR VOLUNTEER
