Pioneering tristate butcher shop Fleishers has temporarily closed all four of its locations after roughly three dozen employees orchestrated a walkout on July 23. The move came after Robert Rosania, the companys leading investor, instructed Fleishers CEO John Adams to remove signs supporting the Black Lives Matter and LGBTQIA+ movements from storefronts in New York and Connecticut.

The incident that sparked the walkout occurred on July 22, when Rosania reportedly received a text message from a friend, claiming they were offended by a sign in support of the Black Lives Matter movement hanging in the Westport stores window. Rosania, a real estate developer and billionaire wine collector, called Adams and instructed him to remove the signs, according to former workers with knowledge of the events.

Former employees say that Adams, the companys newly minted chief executive and fifth CEO in five years, took a train from the companys headquarters in New York to its butcher shop in Westport to remove the sign, along with a second sign that depicted a Black fist raised over a Pride flag. The following morning on July 23, Adams returned to New York City and removed signs from the butcher shop located in Park Slope.

In the hours after the incident, the atmosphere was at a fever pitch, says Ajani Thompson, the former manager of Fleishers in Park Slope. Thompson, who is Black, says that removing the signs sent a message to the companys staff, approximately half of which identify as either LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC, according to former employees.

The perspective money from this one woman was more valuable to you than your entire workforce? That seems negligent, at the very least, or very telling at worst. I hope everyone who walked out has no issues finding a new job.

It's not even clear she was a customer. She was just a friend of the investor and called to complain about the sign.

If three dozen employees walked out, you can guarantee their pay sucked. If they were making good money, most would have stayed and complained about it.

That, and if it was good money, guarantee they'd have no problem replacing them.

Yep. You love to see it.

Why would he listen or care what one woman has to say ?, she is literally the kind of person you ignore and double down on support of the LGBT, and other movements that your store supports saying "no we will not bow to bigots, and we support our workers".

This guy missed a huge opportunity to get more support, business, and love from the people working for him.

BIG FUCKING FAIL for the CEO.

The complaint was not made to the CEO. The complaint was made to the main investor and the guy told the CEO to take it down.

That business is gonna be done. It's already in debt and they're not making money. The dude poured $17-20 million dollars into it. They were cutting staffing and wages prior to this. And now they're only offer a $2 dollar raise to those who choose to stay. It's not enough and with four locations, good luck.
