The workers’ union said it had submitted an unconditional offer to return to work and that Medieval Times had accepted.
Well that's just the opposite of what the title says.
The fight isn't over because the castle retailated against 3 of the striking workers by refusing to bring them back on.
I used to work at one of these places, also as a knight, and the conditions/pay/treatment were deplorable.
I got fired for being unable to perform after being injured by one of our horses. Of course, I was young and more stupid at the time, not knowing my rights, and just moved on with my life. It was a fun 18 months though.
Seems a bit on the nose that workers at a restaurant themed around the feudal period are being treated like serfs.
For a moment I thought Medieval Times was a news outlet.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
