Workers of the now-shuttered Signature Room want whoever moves into the restaurant’s former space at the top of the former John Hancock building to hire them back.

They held a rally Tuesday outside the Loop offices of PGIM, which owns the space, and delivered a petition signed by 1,000 people stating that they will not patronize the location unless its original workers are offered their jobs back, Unite Here Local 1 said in a news release.
