"DON'T FEED GREED"


DOES DARDEN CEO CLARENCE OTIS FEED GREED?

As CEO of Darden Restaurants- owner of Capital Grille, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, and other chains- Clarence Otis is compensated with a cool $8.5 million, while Darden employees earn as little as $2.13 per hour and do not have paid sick days. Workers at some Darden Restaurants report that they are not fully compensated for their work and have suffered racial discrimination.

Corporate executives take care of their own.

Otis is also a member of the Board of Directors of Verizon Communications, where 45,000 workers are fighting to hold on to their place in the middle class. While workers are told to take cuts in pay and benefits totaling $10,000 per year. Otis and the rest of Verizon’s board gave the company’s CEO a 200% raise, to $23 million.

ASK THE MANAGER OF THIS RESTAURANT TO TELL CLARENCE OTIS: DON’T FEED GREED!
