I swung by Elmwood Taco and Subs in Buffalo NY yesterday to speak with supporters of @ETSUnion716.
ETS workers voted decisively for a union last November.
There’s been an ongoing boycott of ETS because of employer retaliation and union-busting 🧵
@ETSUnion716 Arjae is an organizer with Workers United and a former Starbucks worker and member @SBWorkersUnited.
The first unionized Starbucks on Elmwood Avenue is right next door to ETS.
Arjae explained why they’re supporting @ETSUnion716.
My remarks to the Cornell Liberated Zone after my suspension Friday. Cornell’s Interim Expressive Activity Policy forbids the unauthorized use of amplified sound, so I delivered them on the people’s mic. https://t.co/KcpGOtr0gq
It’s another cold day on the ETS picket line, but that’s not slowing us down!
Buffalo, come show your support! Honk when you drive past the line, take a leaflet, or learn how to come join us on the picket line!
Hey, why not try all three?
Have you signed the pledge to boycott Elmwood Tacos and Subs?
Go to https://t.co/C7bHKbqG2Y to sign and find even more ways to support us in our fight for a fair contract!
Michael Kooshoian was endorsed by the WNY Area Labor Federation ⬇️
WNY ALF doesn’t take union-busting lightly.
WNY Dems take great care to appear very pro-labor.
Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Michael Kooshoian is married to ETS co-owner Jackie Kooshoian.
ETS workers told me a huge reason they’re unionizing is because of the owners' management style 👇
Since unionizing, ETS workers say they’ve faced retaliation + have gone on ULP strikes.

Workers at Elmwood Taco & Subs in Buffalo recently voted to unionize.
ETS workers say they've faced retaliation from ownership + have filed ULP charges w/ NLRB.
So this'll shock some: the spouse of ETS’s co-owner is an Erie County Legislator + Democrat, Michael Kooshoian 🧵
