your friendly neighborhood pavement coffeehouse worker who's proudly union! (they/them) 🏳️‍⚧️🌈♒️💪🏽🇵🇷✨️

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.

BREAKING: Pavement Coffeehouse workers in Boston just ratified a first contract.

Last year they became the first coffee shop in MA to unionize, setting off a wave of cafe-based organizing.

Now they've won a PTO, a pay raise, protections for gender expression, and more.

🚨BREAKING🚨: @UnitedPavement has just won the first coffee worker contract in New England! We couldn’t be prouder of our newest members!

[Pavement UNITED @UnitedPavement]

We are excited to announce that the workers at Pavement Coffeehouse have voted to ratify the First Cafe Union Contract in New England!

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!

[Pavement UNITED @UnitedPavement]

What’s disgusting? Union busting. 👎

@1369coffeehouse do better.

[1369 UNITED @1369UNITED]

We look forward to the day that a union contract protects us from emotionally driven firings & guarantees our right to due process. Until that day, we intend to continue to fight the good fight, and thank our communities for standing in solidarity with us.

Yesterday, one of our members was wrongfully terminated on exaggerated & unsubstantiated claims. We are deeply saddened by this development, & believe this was motivated by her vocal support of unions.

[1369 UNITED @1369UNITED]

We received word from ownership just under an hour ago that they will not be voluntarily recognizing our union. While we are disappointed by this decision, we are not discouraged, and look forward to affirming our union in an NLRB-facilitated election. #UnionStrong!

[1369 UNITED @1369UNITED]

We are 1369 United and we are so excited to join the fight for fair contracts and equitable work places. Bread (and coffee) for all, and roses too.
