Pavement Coffeehouse terminated 4 trans cafe workers today.
After a year of receiving reports from queer employees, Pavement has failed to meaningfully address transphobic behavior at its stores.
So incredibly grateful for the path that workers at Pavement, Darwin’s and DBF paved for us. Despite the delay of not being voluntarily recognized, we are so proud to have voted to unionize and are excited to get to the negotiation table in the near future!
NEW: How did coffee shop workers become the vanguard of the labor movement?
We spoke to the workers who organized the first unionized coffeeshop in Massachusetts (and the second, third, and fourth).
This is the story behind the Boston coffeeshop union revolution.
What are y’all most excited for? The ice cream truck? karaoke? water balloons? joining workers in their strike against a notoriously anti-union billion dollar corporation? 💚💚💚
Starbuck worker’s strike is still ongoing! Read their statement below, stop by 874 Commonwealth to join the 24hr picket and/or donate to worker’s here: https://t.co/adiNJ3TEVX
Starbucks baristas at 874 Commonwealth Avenue are ON STRIKE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE due to unfair labor practices. Read more in their notice to management and join us on the picket line from 9am-1pm!
We are so saddened and angry to hear of the Supreme Court decision this morning overturning Roe v. Wade. The battles for reproductive rights and labor rights are deeply intertwined and we cannot have one without the other.
Want to support our union? Stop by our table on Western Ave outside the HQ and hear about what we’re fighting for in contract negotiations and what you can do to help. Your solidarity means the world to us!
