A River North sandwich shop fired its 20 employees Sunday night via email.

The firings were effective immediately for the workers at Snarf’s Sub Shop at 600 W Chicago

A spokeswoman told the newspaper that the restaurant will likely close for more than a month as it converts into a burger concept.

But the firings come a few weeks after Snarf's workers participated in the "Fight for 15" rally, seeking higher wages. A Facebook post on Dec. 5 striking workers outside the restaurant with the caption, "Snarfs SHUT DOWN! #strike victory!"

Victory by self-amputation?

[AU72]

Now they have time to look for hamburger flipper jobs paying 15 per hour.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder why there are no entry-level jobs anywhere?

[RWGinger]

Bravo
I guess they calculated the cost of paying unemployment and figured they could pay it and open a different concept food place and still make money

I wish I lived there. I’d make sure to go to that new place

[GOPsterinMA]

They’re happy; they’ll get more than $15/hr. from the 53 different “transitional” WELFARE programs they’ll “qualify” for.

[TurboZamboni]

Now their alderats can fight for their 99 weeks of unemployment.

I learned back when I was in my late teens that the path to more money was getting a better job. This usually involves some sort of education and/or training.

Dolts.

And in other news, a can shop sandwiched workers days before Easter.

I like the little scisors on the signs helping them know where to cut it out. Except they didn’t. :-D

And before the grammar nazi's strike, I know about the "A" instead of "An" - I didn't make this picture.

It’s Chicago. No you don’t.

Fat chance of getting the grammar police to take a hike...

I've been thinking this since I first saw these pictures a few days ago. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the scissors are on the signs at all. Are we supposed to "coupon" the rally or something?

Fat chance of getting the grammar police to take a hike...

Should be four dots at the end of that line (after "hike")....

{Ducking! Merry Christmas, D1!}

[SamAdams76]

Well they got their wish...Snarf’s is shut down.
