Restaurant curfew puts damper on service during day one of reopening Schneider said he’s competing with government unemployment programs, making it difficult to attract workers.He also believes many people might be feeling uneasy about taking a job in an industry hit so hard by COVID-19 shutdowns.“It gives a lot of uncertainty to the workers in the restaurant industry that they’re not going to have secure jobs,” Schneider said. “I think a lot of them have gone out and found other jobs that are more secure.”Shaun Jeffrey, CEO of the Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association, agrees with Schneider.
