DESCRIPTION:Current and former employees of the Cheesecake Factory say the company owes 
 them more than $1 million in back wages. Supervisors Chris Daly and Matt 
 Gonzalez will join them and Young Workers United for a rally Sept. 29 at 
 4:30 p.m. in Union Square to demand the company pay up—and commit to fair 
 and legal operations in the future.  More than 140 workers filed claims 
 with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement against the 
 Calabasas Hills-based Cheesecake Factory for illegally denying them breaks 
 prior to 2003. Now they and Young Workers United want the company to 
 negotiate a settlement of these claims that includes both back wages to 
 compensate for the missed breaks and a legally binding Code of Conduct to 
 protect workers in the future.  After the rally, current and former 
 employees of the Cheesecake Factory will deliver a petition to management 
 in support of this settlement demand signed by more than 100 workers. They 
 say a thriving, multi-million dollar operation like Cheesecake Factory can 
 afford to give them a fair slice. Supervisors Gonzalez and Daly will 
 accompany them.  Young Workers United is a worker center that organizes 
 low-wage and unemployed young workers in the service sector of San 
 Francisco and played a key role in passing the minimum wage initiative in 
 2003.       WHAT: Rally in support of Cheesecake Factory workers  WHEN: 
 Wednesday, Sept. 29, 4:30 p.m.  WHERE: Union Square (corner of Powell and 
 Geary Streets)  WHO: Cheesecake Factory workers and community supporters, 
 including San Francisco Supervisors Chris Daly and Matt Gonzalez  \n
