Β CHARLOTTE, NC — Protesters are demanding Amelie’s French Bakery show its employees some respect! Β About a dozen people picketed outside the bakery in NoDa Wednesday. Β They were supporting former employee Justin Miller who resigned on Facebook. Β He says he quit because Amelie’s employees are underpaid and are often asked to work off the clock.
“If I didn’t go public with it,” said Miller, “business would just continue on as usual. Β Amelie’s is an institution in Charlotte. Β They could practice these same labor practices for the next 40 years.”
Miller has started a Change.org petition to get Amelie’s to offer what he calls a “livable wage”. Β A bakery co-owner said last wee that an independent third party would review all employment policies.
