Bob Law: Of Radio, Restaurants and Retail
Check out this profile of Bob Law, 65, the former music director of WWRL and host of the "Night Talk" radio show, who owns both the Namaskar health food store Bob Law’s Seafood Cafe: "Both establishments are on the same block of Vanderbilt Ave. near Prospect Place in Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood. Namaskar has been there for almost 14 years, the Seafood Cafe for three … (Law) doesn’t see his move from radio to retail as such a stretch. ‘I’ve been preaching entrepreneurship to African-Americans for years…’"
"…he and his wife, Muntu, opened the Seafood Cafe … ‘I wanted it to be in between a fish-and-chips place and a sit-down restaurant … The idea was to create another city dining experience by offering people a little something different.’"

I love the yams and shrimp at Bob Laws Seafood Cafe but I’m appauled by the way their employees are treated. They work long hours and they are not compensated for working on their days off, or overtime. As a Black Activist Mr. Bob needs to be ashame of himself. Working for him is similar to working in a sweat shop.
How in the world do you know? Mr. Law is in the restaurant often and if you felt so terrible about the treatment and salary paid to his employees I encourage you to confront him and verify if this is indeed true. Sounds like a disgruntled employee has ranted to someone who instead of trying to help makes a post online, wha?
