Union power is stronger than the president.

Labor union agreements thwart President Trump's return to work order, prompting the administration to issue new directive, saying: "Supervisors should not begin discussions around the return to in-person work with bargaining unit employees until HHS fulfills its collective bargaining obligations."

Blue Bottle has been involved in multiple wage theft law suits! No wonder why so many of their workers struggle to make ends meet. This one from 2020 alleged Blue Bottle forced workers to work through breaks and didn’t provide accurate pay statements

Wage theft is pervasive across all industries and income levels in the country, but low-wage workers—who can least afford to bear the cost of lost earnings—are disproportionately vulnerable to wage violations.

This suit from 2023 alleges that BB misclassifies Cafe Leaders as exempt employees, and as a result did not pay them OT, and “did not receive legally compliant meal and rest breaks, and were not paid at their regular rate for their sick time”

Nestlé has also impoverished coffee farmers in Chiapas through their Nescafé scheme — pushing farmers to grow robusta coffee but not paying enough to even cover the costs of growing the coffee!

And Nestlé currently is refusing to bargain with Colombian workers represented by the union SINALTRAINAL!
Nestlé has fired union organizers, banned union representatives from engaging with workers, and is trying to impose unsafe working conditions

For anyone unaware, Blue Bottle is wholly owned by Nestlé. Nestlé’s push for growth is the reason why we’re constantly overworked, understaffed, and underpaid.
We deserve better, and are taking on Nestlé by fighting for a living wage!!

Since we’ve unionized though, Nestlé has:
— hired the second largest union-busting firm in the U.S. to represent Blue Bottle
— fired one of our organizers
— and is now closing their highest grossing location for unnecessary renovations

We can’t and won’t accept any of this! As we gear up for our next bargaining sessions later this month, please take action to tell Nestlé that Blue Bottle baristas deserve a living wage:

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

Organizing allows you to sharpen your bullshit detecting skills & identify other, more insidious ways employers try and cheat workers.
For @BBIUnion, Blue Bottle is using "construction" to make workers lose income. Don't let @bluebottleroast (i.e. @Nestle) get away with it!

Since May @bluebottleroast has been union busting & now they’re planning to renovate their largest cafe in Boston without guaranteeing hours or tips for their workers! BB is giving union baristas a de facto pay cut and has decided baristas will take on the burden for the reno

Trans rights are labor rights.
Get bent if you think otherwise.
