Jim Cramer States 'Brinker's Been a Winner in This Environment'
Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) is one of the stocks stocks Jim Cramer shed light on. Cramer discussed the company's earnings and said: 'You heard about it all day: This earnings season has been filled with disappointment in the restaurant space. You know, we got the CAVA that was really bad, the Sweetgreen. But some of these companies always seem to come through because they have something different, like Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's and Maggiano's. This morning, Brinker reported a beautiful top and bottom line beat with a mindboggling 23.7% same-store sales numbers from the Chili's business. They just keep doing it. Even better, management issued a strong forecast for the year ahead, which is why the stock rallied over 1.6% today, although at one point it was up even bigger. Brinker's been a winner in this environment because they offer their customers an incredible value proposition.' A stock market data. Photo by Alesia Kozik on Pexels Brinker International, Inc.

Jim Cramer Says Sweetgreen Either Needs to Lower Prices or Introduce Lower Priced dishes
Sweetgreen, Inc. (NYSE:SG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shed light on. Cramer highlighted that the company's restaurant meals are costly. He said: 'Here's something you never hear from the restaurant companies that are losing customers, even though it's the truth: our meals cost too much. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's going on with two formerly red-hot restaurant chains, Sweetgreen and CAVA… Last week… the salad chain announced that its same-store sales had fallen by 7.6%. Wall Street was looking for a 5.5% decline. Sweetgreen lost 20 cents per share. The analysts were only looking for an 11-cent hit. Stock market reports printed on a sheet of paper.

(NYSE:SG) operates fast-food restaurants that serve healthy food and drinks, with ordering also available online or through its app. While we acknowledge the potential of SG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

"This government is anti-union and anti-worker": CUPE NS Denounces Use of Bill 107
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, August 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Nova Scotia strongly condemns the federal government's decision to interfere in workers' right to collective bargaining and job action by invoking Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. "Clearly, this government is anti-union and anti-worker," said Alan Linkletter, CUPE Nova Scotia President. "Forcing workers back on the job instead of supporting free and fair collective negotiations directly contradictions workers' rights that are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." Air Canada has asked the government to crush striking workers' Charter rights, and Federal Labour minister Patty Hajdu is ready to deliver. Hajdu announced that the federal government will be invoking Section 107 at a press conference this afternoon, citing the financial welfare of Canadians and the economy at large as a deciding factor for this decision. "She says this move is for the financial security of Canadians—are these workers not Canadians? Does their welfare not matter? How can you be financially secure when you don't even get paid for all of the hours you work?" Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace in Canada. This will only push this fight onto the next group of workers in negotiations, while Air Canda's flight attendants continue to work for a billion-dollar company for free. Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a month performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for all the hours they work, Air Canada has clearly sought help from the federal government to continue exploiting their employees. "Minister Hajdu's comments indicate a clear lack of respect for workers' rights," said Sherry Hillier, President of CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador and National General Vice President for Atlantic Canada. "By using Section 107 to force workers back on the job yet again, they're setting a pattern. And that pattern is that Liberals don't care about Canadians." Recent polling data indicates that 9 out of 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants' fight for fair pay. 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks. 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play. 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants' right to take job action–even if it causes travel disruptions. CUPE represents over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants across the country, and workers have been demonstrating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport since 6AM. "Messages of support have been pouring in for these workers from across the country," continued Linkletter. "Canadians stand with us. Our elected representatives should, too."
