After filing for bankruptcy last July largely because of a boycott, Wild Edibles, one of New York’s leading seafood purveyors, has reached a tentative $340,000 settlement with the workers’ group that persuaded more than 70 restaurants to boycott the company.

As part of the settlement, the group, Brandworkers International, which accused Wild Edibles of overtime violations, pledged to end its two-year boycott campaign — a pledge that the company said should help enable it to emerge from bankruptcy.

Through picketing and a campaign in the news media, Brandworkers, a nonprofit group that advocates for food and retail workers, had gotten such well-known restaurants as Union Square Cafe, Mermaid Inn, Pastis, and One if by Land, Two if by Sea to stop doing business with Wild Edibles.

About two dozen workers at Wild Edibles had joined a federal lawsuit accusing the company of a widespread failure to pay time and a half for overtime work. In addition, Brandworkers asserted that the company had illegally harassed and fired several workers in retaliation for campaigning to form a labor union.

“More than anything, we showed that ordinary workers can get organized, take action together and win,” said Raymundo Lara Molina, a former employee of Wild Edibles.

Wild Edibles, which is based in Long Island City, Queens, has several retail shops, including a stall at Grand Central Market.

The settlement states that $137,500 of the money “shall be attributed to emotional distress resulting from alleged retaliation.”

The parties still need formal approval of their settlement from Judge Robert E. Gerber of Federal Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

The company said it would file a plan of reorganization within 45 days of the court’s approving the settlement.

The settlement would resolve the outstanding litigation involving the wage claims as well as complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board.

Wild Edibles had denied any labor law violations in the Labor Relations Board case, but last summer it acknowledged that some workers may not have been paid correctly; it said it had corrected those problems.

In its pressure campaign, Brandworkers worked closely with the Industrial Workers of the World, the upstart, reborn union that is seeking to organize workers at many Starbucks cafes.

The Wild Edibles workers, many of them immigrants, received strong support from community groups as well as City Councilman Eric N. Gioia, whose Queens district includes the company’s main processing center.
