Thread Name: Acres of Clams-WA song-please clarify
Subject: RE: Acres of Clams-WA song-please clarify
Here is the Ivar's Restaurants web site. I was hoping it would have info about the song but it doesn't. I recall the paper placemats had the words to "Acres of Clams" on them. I understand the company is a worker-owned cooperative, and that Ivar set it up that way before he died. Another reason to regard him as a hero. I quote, from their employment page:

"Competitive wages, full medical, dental, vision and life insurance benefits, an excellent 401(k) retirement plan and a quality work environment await you at Ivar's!

"Qualified applicants are considered for all positions, and employees are treated without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, veteran status, sexual preference, or the presence of a non-job-related medical condition or disability."

Does that sound like a worker's paradise, or what?
