People ask me, “So, what’s up with the Herald?” – referring to a recent article about the Cyprus Café. They know my wife has worked there for years and continues to work there. Indeed, she considers it a good job. I also have had Cyprus as a client and continue to dine there.
By now, we all know about the labor-law violations, have known about them for months. As they say, that is hardly front-page news. So why does the Herald run such a sensationalized and biased story on the front page months later? Slow news day?
Alison Dance, the Cyprus Café’s owner, has fully paid the regulatory fines, compensated those affected, corrected those wage policies and, now, has doubled down her commitment to our community by redefining and reopening her business. Letters from current and former employees – even the parents of a child involved – show that there are other aspects to the story.
So, what’s up, Herald?
