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: unitehere8.org/union-made-sa…

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. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

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.

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.

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.
On July 18, the Seattle artisanal sandwich shop chain Homegrown notified the state that it would be laying off 158 workers and closing 10 of its 12 locations, effective September 15. This comes months after it reached an agreement with its workers for better pay and conditions.

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.”

"Starbucks & Workers United remain committed to building a positive, productive relationship. This week, we conducted contract bargaining over a 2-day session in Atlanta, GA.
We made significant progress."
