Like all ROC affiliates, ROC-Michigan uses a unique tri-pronged model to win change in the restaurant industry and in our communities.

Our model includes: (1) discouraging the low-road through workplace justice campaigns that combine litigation and organizing  to hold exploitative employers accountable; (2) encouraging the high-road through innovative employer partnerships that advance worker ownership, training, and best practices to promote good jobs; and (3) lifting all boats in the industry through community-based research and policy works.

From vibrant, community-based campaigns to our worker-owned COLORS restaurants and training centers, these efforts are helping to support a new restaurant industry based on good jobs and opportunities for advancement.
