Employees at the iconic Boathouse Restaurant in Central Park have been secretly taping their bosses.
Fed up with their treatment by management, dozens of waiters and dishwashers have been reporting to work for the past year armed with miniature cassette recorders and have taped hundreds of workplace conversations.
“These tapes and transcripts provide irrefutable proof that the Boathouse Restaurant has repeatedly violated federal labor laws,” said Peter Ward, president of Local 6 of the hotel and restaurant workers union.
