In Class Composition in the Cafe Sector we hope that by presenting workers’ narratives alongside our analysis of the sector, we can develop a framework for how workplaces in the sector are structured and what tensions exist within them that can aid organising for class struggle.

Are you a militant worker, labor organizer, movement radical interested in workers' inquiry? Take a read a new introductory piece by @ovetzrobert and @americanwork47.
“Workers’ inquiries are identifying working-class self-activity in various sectors, understanding the class struggle from the working-class point of view, and allowing workers to develop their own knowledge of how their work is organized.” @NewPolMag https://t.co/B5UffhVlhH
“After over 20 years working grocery retail, unionizing my store with my coworkers, and talking to other retail workers across the country, I’ve learned that grocery workers across our industry face similar challenges," Maeg from @TraderJoesUnite shared with us.
“Documenting what we already know is broken, finding out it's broken everywhere, and using that information to build real power,” Janet from @NSLU_PDX shared.
“When management says they can't afford better wages or they can't fix staffing, we'll have the receipts showing exactly how they're running these stores into the ground. That's how we stop fighting their fights on their terms and start fighting ours on ours.”
"A week after @NSLU_PDX members received their proper wage increase, per the collective bargaining agreement, New Seasons Market laid-off 95 union and nonunion workers." Support these workers here: https://t.co/r3VTaDDYuI
Grocery workers are sharing their experiences and organizing with their coworkers to share too. So far we have responses from workers in @NSLU_PDX, UE, and UFCW. Join the conversation here: https://t.co/Gl98wGX1CE
