The Café des Artistes has been doing a steady restaurant business in New York City since 1917, but is now forced to close its doors. One of the main reasons for this happens to be the fact that the Café is unfortunate enough to be a union restaurant and the exorbitant costs of supporting a union workforce has contributed to killing the business.
A blog called the 212DressingRoom, a website about New York fashion, culture, art and other rather Bohemian subjects, has detailed the sad end of the long time café written by the owner of the place, Jennifer Lang.
The decision to close the Café is exceedingly painful to make, but inevitable. We are one of the very, very few independent restaurants in New York City that operates with a union; many of those have closed in the last few years, and hundreds have closed in the last few decades. In that respect, we are a dinosaur because the huge added expense of having a union restaurant can be crippling, especially when the economy takes a nosedive.
Since 99% of the independent restaurants in New York City do not have a union, we are not playing on a level playing field with the rest of our competition. One example: We pay approximately $250,000 more each year for health insurance and pension coverage for our employees than we would if we were paying for non-union coverage.
This is a stark reminder that unions kill profitability and cost jobs. A minute can be spent here to realize what the Obama administration’s “cure” for this sort of situation is, too.

Put it this way... was that a question you’d ask if you were new to a daily thread?
I don’t think so.
Good for you. Are you taking your fish oil?
I didn’t say that, somebody at the Savage thread said that.
I’m leaving so you wont be offended by anything I say.
Hi Fuddy,
Mark isn’t kidding about JFK, was around 13 when he was elected and remember watching election night when he won.
Not my choice but a hell of a lot better than what we have today.
I’d Love to see what the DEMS would do to a DEM CANDIDATE today with a Platform like JFK’s..
he’d possibly get MOndale type numbers.
A quick good evening to all!
A person with his views wouldn’t be nominated by the Dems.
Good evening buddy (-:
Hello, cookie.
Sickening.
Aaaaah, can you prove that?
Good point. You also appeared to be pitting them against us. Just so you know, we’ve been through that and it does make most of us very suspicious of newcomers to the thread but ONLY IF they seem to be contentious.
Savage thread should enjoy themselves and that’s all we ask for ourselves.
That said, if you’re a Levin fan, please join in.
Yes!
You can say THAT again.
Go right ahead!
Ha!!! we’re gonna take our time Anna.
Anna and the 47 million.
Wait for it!
