Restaurant Opportunities Center, raising labor standards across DC's restaurant industry!
To improve the wages and working conditions in the restaurant industry.
Training and Job Placement: ROC-DC is offering free training in fine dining server, bartending, and ESOL classes for restaurant workers.
Surveys and Research: We conduct research to identify how workplaces need to be improved, develop our programs, and to build public recognition of restaurant workers' contributions to the nation's capitol.
Leadership Development and Education: ROC-DC is dedicated to supporting restaurant workers so that they can be leaders, standing up for their rights not only in their workplace, but in front of elected officials and the larger community. We offer trainings and workshops to help workers develop leadership skills - such as public speaking, conflict resolution and mediation, setting meeting agendas and running meetings, political education. Further, we provide opportunities for restaurant workers to become leaders in their industry by joining any one of our worker committees which develop programming for ROC-DC, such as our Steering Committee, Policy Committee, Women's Committee, Health & Safety Committee and so on.
