What's pretty cool is there's now union-made sandwiches available at 10 locations and for catering in the Seattle area. We hope everyone shows them some love. Locations and catering info here: https://t.co/o8MXDYTTBU

Friends, please take a moment this afternoon to support Homegrown workers in getting transition pay amid impending store closures!

[MLK Labor @MLKLabor]

Rolling back the minimum wage for tipped workers would be an unprecedented step backward for Seattle's progressive values. Businesses have had 10 years to prepare for this but want the city council to create a permanent sub-minimum wage at the 11th hour. https://t.co/ZvLFyhHlbT

We know the Homegrown organizing and contract has inspired many, and we hope we continue to inspire more workers to stand up to make the jobs in the industry good jobs. Businesses may come and go, but the worker-led movement for good jobs is here to stay.

[OurUnionIsHomegrown @OurUnionIsHG]

As you may have heard, Homegrown CEO Brad Gillis has decided to close 10 stores and permanently layoff 158 workers come September 15. Workers and Local 8 are disappointed in the decision and the lack of communication leading up to it.

[OurUnionIsHomegrown @OurUnionIsHG]

All the support from allies, labor, workers, and everyone has meant the world to us. Thank you.

This is union busting. The company told workers they were profitable in all stores and are now saying that’s not true while pivoting industries away from their cafes that won a new contract and the reinstating of a union leader following a 100+ day strike.

We are honored that Homegrown workers were selected as one of the recipients of the ⁦@WAAFLCIO⁩ Mother Jones award for our fight to win a fair contract and To Bring Syd Back! https://t.co/TLEBNrUMfN

Homegrown workers recently won a groundbreaking contract that addresses heat (and air quality). HG worker Zane told @Grist “Heat pay is great, but we would actually like the workplace to be a reasonable, safe temperature year round.”

Hey folks! Homegrown workers are featured in this @grist piece on heat in the workplace and what it means for workers in the climate crisis. Give it a read!

We made significant progress."
