Workers at José Andrés’ latest D.C. restaurant, The Bazaar, won union recognition Friday from the chef’s restaurant group.

The Bazaar is located inside the Waldorf Astoria hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, where Local 25 already represents the other workers of the hotel.

"This sends a message not just to my co-workers, but restaurant workers across the D.C. area that we all deserve the dignity, respect, and stable careers that come with a union." Read more »
