Locals hold protest outside the Willows Inn
Last Friday, about 50 Lummi Island locals gathered to hold a protest outside the Willows Inn Like List , which was recently the subject of a New York Times exposé released in April. (In the report, 35 former staff members accused the nationally acclaimed restaurant of having a toxic work environment led by chef and owner Blaine Wetzel and manager Reid Johnson. The allegations included several instances of racism, sexual harassment, and sexism, as well as male employees preying on teenage girls from the island community.) Protesters carried signs with messages like "Willows Wore Out Welcome" and "Racism is NOT a Local Ingredient."

Zeek's Pizza sued for wage theft
The Terrell Marshall Law Group, the legal firm that recently got the local pizza chain Pagliacci to settle a $3.75 million lawsuit for alleged wage theft, filed a lawsuit against the local chain Zeek's Pizza last week, claiming that the business withheld wages and tips owed to its drivers. Over 100 delivery drivers could be included in the class-action lawsuit.
