The non-profit Private Equity Stakeholders Project helps ROC-LA research investors in the Cheesecake Factory. ROC-LA supports four workers to prepare their testimony and members of the PHC and ROC-LA organizers attend the LA City Employee Retirement System (LACERS) pension fund meeting, which has investments in the Cheesecake Factory. It is the first time that Cheesecake Factory workers talk about their working conditions in this forum. Board members are surprised to hear from workers and assure them their testimony has been heard. ROC-LA and workers begin developing a website to encourage other workers to speak up at similar meetings.
