Exploitation Of Labor At A Dunkin Donut Outlet:
Attention:
It was brought to my attention recently that workers of The Dunkin Donut Outlet, situated at Christopher St. & 7th Avenue, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City, are being deprived of their TIPS in that outlet.
Upon enquiry into this mater, I was told by several workers or employees of that facility, that the daily TIPS received from customers, are collected by the Supervisor on duty every day, kept until the end of the work week, then distributed to the workers un-equally.

And very often, the workers are not given their TIPS at all!
These monies are then distributed to those who may or may not have worked the same hours, or may not have been targeted by the customer/s, who would have identified or given certain employees TIPS, in gratitude for good service to them. It was also told to me that the employees are never allowed to accept TIPS directly from customers. But the TIPS are placed into a container visibly displayed on the counter, for the customer/s to put their TIPS into.

Some workers are given un-equal amounts of TIPS, and does not reflect the historical concept of how TIPS should be dealt with. I understand that in most Restaurants, Take-outs, and other Eateries in New York City, there is a system where employees are given ALL of the TIPS collected on a daily basis.
But at this Dunkin Dunut outlet, the management gives TIPS to those whom it pleases. Thus causing some employees never to get any. And dependant upon if he or she is favoured by the Supervisor on duty at the time.
I shall be most grateful for your enquiry into this "Unfair Labor Practice" at this facility, as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
