Recognizing the importance of building power through workforce development and narrowing the digital divide among restaurant workers, most particularly Blacks and Latinos who cant even afford to have firsthand access to the internet, ROC President CEO Sekou Siby was selected as one of the National Skills Coalition NSC new board members. Between April and June, at least 69 workers from NY, MS, CA, MI, D.C., and LA graduated from COLORS Hospitality Opportunities for Workers CHOW, ROCs workforce development program that provides professional training for front- and back-of-the-house workers. These CHOW courses, including baking and bartending, have given our graduates new skills that will make them more competitive in the food and service industry. 515452 RESEARCH AND POLICY While restaurant workers are still dealing with the effects of the pandemic, ROC United released the report, Impact of COVID-19 on restaurant workers across America. The findings were based on surveys of more than 1,000 restaurant workers, conducted in 2020 and 2021. Over 100 restaurant workers submitted stakeholder comments to OSHA in support of a proposed Heat Injury and Illness Prevention rule after viewing our TikTok posts to BeatTheHeat. Democracy Forward submitted a comment on behalf of ROC United to encourage OSHA to promulgate a rule to protect restaurant workers from unbearable heat and unsafe working conditions through the creation of federal heat safety standards. As part of the Safety Net for All SN4A coalition-made up of over 150 immigrant and workers rights organizations across California-ROC Bay Area organized and helped collect more than 25,000 signatures. 687251 4309965 true true false true false false false false false false true false true true true true true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 79 0 true 59 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true false false CA NY X THE ORGANIZATION 2122436900 275 SEVENTH AVENUE STE 1703 NEW YORK NY 10001 SEKOU SIBY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 060.00 X X X 140840 0 27611 ALICIA RENEE FARRIS CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER 060.00 X 110432 0 11491 TEOFILO REYES DIRCTOR OF PROGRAMS RESEARCH 060.00 X 96577 0 0 CHRIS MELODY FIGUEREDO SECRETARY 001.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIA FIGUEROA CHAIRPERSON 001.00 X X 0 0 0 REV REGINALD BRANTLEY TREASURER 001.00 X X 0 0 0 FELICIA GRIFFIN DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN MULLIGAN DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 JOSE OLIVA DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 347849 39102 2 false true false 10000 90219 5262406 5362625 PROGRAM REVENUE 152841 152841 152841 86133 86133 10000 Other income - Restaurant Others 900099 638653 638653 638653 6240252 877627 X 0 0 0 0 140840 70420 35210 35210 0 2960472 2199622 399606 361244 0 335566 284596 24018 26952 237250 173658 33263 30329 0 246275 82092 164183 50152 16718 16717 16717 0 0 695482 617296 78186 15929 8070 7859 419474 354016 33905 31553 22931 18732 1693 2506 0 259860 244079 7891 7890 128613 111916 2229 14468 0 0 0 0 1519 507 506 506 62572 30972 15800 15800 Bank charges, Penalties and payroll processing fees 142053 88665 33991 19397 Loss on Investment Bad Debts 272904 272904 Special Events 81156 81156 Sub-Grants 5600 5600 9027 3006 3015 3006 6087675 4309965 1044931 732779 2044040 956963 1377500 2608236 94159 85600 10077 8559 3207941 3008624 1154865 1357862 7794423 7940244 99316 296873 666015 666015 32578 383508 797909 1346396 X 4589362 3526765 2407152 3067083 6996514 6593848 7794423 7940244 152577 -555243 X false true X true false X 3775370 5695202 6160391 5075242 5362625 26068830 3775370 5695202 6160391 5075242 5362625 26068830 26068830 540 101 85339 86292 86133 258405 32440 92720 192930 791494 1109584 27436819 0.95010 0.98400 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19599 45121 64720 4245245 4309965 365498 91375 398997 434458 368676 365498 1567629 2351444 126273 97465 68597 64720 357055 99749 108615 92169 91375 391908 587862 6011 10855 25714 19599 62179 false 94159 85600 8559 8559 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Investment in Subsidiary 3008624 C 3008624 Due from Affiliates 518342 Other receivables 453091 Security deposits 98231 Right of Use Asset - Operating Lease 288198 1357862 Federal income taxes Due to Affiliates 81575 Due to Others 13735 Operating Lease Obligations - Current 66278 Operating Lease Obligations - Non Current 221920 383508 6240252 6240252 6240252 6087675 6087675 6087675 X X X X X X false X X X false false false false false false false false false SEKOU SIBY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 140840 27611 168451 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Program Service Expenses 687,251, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 0 ONE FAIR WAGE FOR RESTAURANT WORKERS WORKPLACE JUSTICE In December 2022, the Restaurant Workers Bill of Rights was officially introduced by U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib. In a national press conference, which was attended by nearly 40 news outlets and restaurant workers across the country, Rep. Tlaib introduced House Resolution 1528, outlining the tenets of the Restaurant Workers Bill of Rights recognizing restaurant workers rights to thriving wages, healing and rest, a safe and dignified working environment, universal health care, bodily autonomy, and democracy in their workplace. ROC United announced its 20th Anniversary Gala, commemorating the organizations two decades of building power for restaurant workers in the workplace and honoring our partners through the years. ROC Minnesota celebrated with Blaze Pizza workers for winning nearly 30,000 in a wage-theft settlement. Since January 2022, ROC United has at least 17 cases pending in various places across the country concerning wage theft, unpaid wages, discrimination and retaliatory termination.
