Poll’s “proposals” re Tavern contract flatly unacceptable to HTC

September 24, 2009 8:00 PM

Peter Ward, president of the Hotel Trades Council, has called Central Park Boathouse restaurant operator Dean Poll's initial Tavern on the Green proposal "an insult, an atrocity and a slap in the face of not only this union but every New Yorker." Poll is set to take over the operating lease of Tavern on the Green at the start of 2010. In a NY Times article, the HTC is described as "one of the city's most aggressive [unions]."
