As House dining shake-up nears, food workers take fight to court
July 29, 2025 // They allege FCW Investments LLC, which will run a Jimmy John’s in the Rayburn Building, and Elite Management Group, which will operate a Starbucks out of the former Dunkin’ in the Longworth Building, are failing to comply with a local law that protects some workers from displacement when contracts change hands. “The simple fact is every one of these contractors should be offering existing employees their jobs,” said Jesse Seitel, an organizing director at Unite Here Local 23, the House food service workers’ union. “We hope that these companies come to their senses.” On their boycott list are Starbucks, Jimmy John’s, PX Tacos, Java House, CHA Street Food and Black Crown Collective, all of which are set to open on the Hill in the coming weeks.
