The protest comes amid an ongoing battle between North End restaurants and the Wu administration.
More than a dozen North End Restaurant Owners and their staff at the Ironworkers Local 7 Hall protesting Mayor Michelle Wu’s outdoor dining policy, which bans on-street dining exclusively in their historic neighborhood.
A group of 21 owners amended their federal lawsuit earlier this month, alleging they’ve lost millions in revenue due to quote"unequal, unfair, and discriminatory treatment of Italian restaurants.” They also want to be refunded for the $7,500 fee they paid in 2022."All we are asking from the profit of diversity equity and inclusion we are asking to be included equitably, to have the same opportunity to compete with the rest of the businesses like ours in Boston.
Organizers declined to comment on the protest but city officials have said publicly that they plan to rework the guidelines in the North End but couldn’t get to it this year.
