Thought I’d share the article since no one has mentioned it yet. Pretty big deal in regards to small coffee corp. operations—- or atleast ones who pitch themselves as such. From my perspective this was something long overdue, this company is rapidly growing and can afford to pay workers more /provide better benefits instead offloading it on to the consumer. These types of growing coffee shops offer a work culture for growth and development, promising the idea of job stability and potential upward mobility. However, when it comes to following through with hours and pay, the philosophy seems to fall short.
I think if companies like these really want to make coffee jobs sustainable they would recognize a union and support with the workers they claim to care about.
