Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average person entering a diner, lunch-wagon, cafeteria, restaurant, or hotel dining room, whichever his choice may be, seldom considers the story behind his selected food-serving establishment. He knows nothing of the history or growth of the catering industry, of the legislation passed for his protection by both federal and state governments, or of his problems connected with actual plant operation, overhead or fixed costs, purchase and preparation of food, or labor problems. Nor would he in all probability be particularly interested in a study of all these problems were he made aware of these existence. In general, it is felt that the catering industry plants and employees are merely public servants that exists solely for the service, pleasure, and convenience of those who desire prepared food outside of the home. Just as most public utilities are accepted as institutions which have gradually become necessities for service and convenience of the public, today we find that most catering establishments are accepted as necessities by the consuming public. No further thought is given to them. Service performed in the catering industry is taken for granted. Whether or not the entrepreneur receives a fair return on a fair valuation of his investment, whether or not his property is maintained by proper allowance for his depreciation, whether or not the food that he serves has been chemically treated ot meet the few requirements of state and federal government bureaus of public health, whether or not employees are paid minimum subsistence wages and are forced to work unjustly long hours seems to be of no great public concern. The National Consumers' League, working through several of its divisions, such as the Consumers' League of New York City, and the Ohio Consumers' league, has attempted to improve conditions in this large, unnursed industry by appealing to the public, and those persons influential in state governments to pass laws for the protection of restaurant workers. it has done a marvelous piece of work! But on the whole, the American public has not been, in the past, and is still little concerned about improving conditions in this industry.

Download or read book Labour Relations in the Global Fast Food Industry written by Tony Royle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fast-food industry is one of the few industries that can be described as truly global, not least in terms of employment, which is estimated at around ten million people worldwide. This edited volume is the first of its kind, providing an analysis of labour relations in this significant industry focusing on multinational corporations and large national companies in ten countries: the USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Russia. The extent to which multinational enterprises impose or adapt their employment practices in differing national industrial relations systems is analysed, Results reveal that the global fast-food industry is typified by trade union exclusion, high labour turnover, unskilled work, paternalistic management regimes and work organization that allows little scope for developing workers' participation in decision-making, let alone advocating widely accepted concepts of social justice and workers' rights.

Download or read book Working In Hotels and Catering written by Roy C Wood and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1992. The hotel and catering industry is one of the most heterogeneous of industries, consisting as it does of businesses ranging from the most humble cafe to the largest luxury hotel. Strong images of the glamorous nature of the work are often conjured up by the popular media and sit alongside the lures o f an industry in which it is theoretically possible to rise to the top from the very lowest levels. This book provides an insight into the circumstances under which hotel and catering services are provided in reality. It is the first text to provide an overview of existing research in the industry, and Wood’s account is both wide-ranging and accessible. He highlights many previously overlooked aspects of the industry, including such characteristics as low wages, high labour turnover, lack of unionisation, and heavy-handed management, which are identified and explored in such a way as to illuminate current practice.
