The union representing nearly 200 House food service workers has filed lawsuits against two vendors set to open for business this summer on the Capitol campus.
The suits were brought earlier this month in D.C. Superior Court and come amid a larger pressure campaign from the union, including a boycott they hope will gather support from members of Congress and staff.
They allege FCW Investments LLC, which will run a Jimmy John’s in the Rayburn Building, and Elite Management Group, which will operate a Starbucks out of the former Dunkin’ in the Longworth Building, are failing to comply with a local law that protects some workers from displacement when contracts change hands.
