While it is good to “buy local” and support small local businesses, sometimes, it just isn’t enough. Sometimes, you need to think about labor practices of that local business and make another decision.
A message from the Workers’ Rights Center:
Support the workers from La Hacienda

Wed. July 25 at 5 pmCome help us make some noise to send a message that Madison does not support businesses that don’t treat their workers right!
La Hacienda has engaged in systematic violations of State and Federal wage & hour laws, failing to pay many of its workers for all hours worked, for overtime worked, or at the minimum wage.
For years the Workers’ Rights Center (WRC) has assisted workers at La Hacienda Restaurant at 515 S. Park Street to receive their proper wages. La Hacienda has been cited by the Department of Labor for these violations. The WRC has tried to work with the restaurant over the years to get it to clean up its act. But the violations continue.
