Chef Kevin Tien’s acclaimed Vietnamese restaurant, Moon Rabbit, is closing on the Wharf on Monday, a surprising move that union officials say was engineered by the luxury hotel that houses the restaurant to kill efforts of hospitality workers to unionize.
Local 25 is still formulating its next moves, based on what the hotel plans to do with the workers who rely on the restaurant for a paycheck. On Monday there were picketers outside Moon Rabbit. The union has also filed a wage theft claim with the D.C. Department of Employment Services. It provided The Post with a copy of the complaint. Several servers and bartenders provided evidence in the complaint.
The InterContinental on the Wharf is a partnership between IHG, the Carr Companies, Hoffman & Associates and Madison Marquette. The latter two groups are the master developers behind the Wharf project, which has received hundreds of millions of dollars in. Local 25 plans to take its case to the D.C. Council, which authorized the subsidies.
“We unequivocally support the right of workers to organize without harassment or unnecessary delay,” the council members wrote. “The InterContinental should ensure a fair and swift process for them to choose whether to form a union, free from coercion or intimidation.
