Dear FEASTers,

Please join us for a panel this Thursday, May 6, 7-8pm EDT, with Saru Jayaraman and Catharine MacKinnon on sexual harassment and the subminimum wage for tipped workers.

Both US Senators from NH, Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen—both Democrats! And women!—have voted with the Republicans against raising the minimum wage for workers AND in favor of maintaining the SUBminimum wage for tipped restaurant workers. We’re hoping to get their attention—and that of NH voters—by holding this event at Dartmouth, but everyone is welcome and no registration is required.

Thank you!

Panel Info:
A legacy of slavery, the sub minimum wage for tipped workers forces a mostly female workforce of waitresses, largely in very casual restaurants, to struggle with the highest rates of poverty and sexual harassment of any workforce, because they must tolerate inappropriate customer behavior to feed their families in tips. Join us for a panel discussion with preeminent experts researching gender-based discrimination and violence.

Co-Sponsored with the Ethics Institute

Saru Jayaraman
As the President of One Fair Wage and Director of the Food Labor Research Center at University of California, Berkeley, Saru has spent the last 20 years organizing and advocating for raising wages and working conditions for restaurant and other service workers. Saru is a graduate of Yale Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. She was listed in CNN’s “Top10 Visionary Women” and recognized as a Champion of Change by the White House in 2014, and a James Beard Foundation Leadership Award in 2015. Saru authored Behind the Kitchen Door (Cornell University Press, 2013), a national bestseller, Forked: A New Standard for American Dining (Oxford University Press, 2016), and most recently Bite Back (UC Press, 2020), and has appeared on MSNBC, HBO, PBS, CBS, and CNN. She attended the Golden Globes in January 2018 with Amy Poehler as part of the Times Up action to address sexual harassment.

Catharine A. MacKinnon is a lawyer, teacher, scholar, writer, and activist. She is Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School (since 2009). She holds a B.A. from Smith College, a J.D. from Yale Law School, and a Ph.D. in political science from Yale, specializing in equality issues, focusing on sex equality under international and domestic (including comparative, constitutional, and criminal) law and in political theory.

Professor MacKinnon pioneered the legal claim for sexual harassment and, with Andrea Dworkin, created ordinances recognizing pornography as a civil rights violation and proposed the Swedish model for abolishing prostitution. The Supreme Court of Canada has largely accepted her approaches to equality, pornography, and hate speech, which have been influential internationally as well. Representing Bosnian women survivors of Serbian genocidal sexual atrocities, she won with co-counsel a damage award of $745 million in August 2000 in Kadic v. Karadzic under the Alien Tort Act, establishing the first legal recognition of rape as an act of genocide.
