I swung by Elmwood Taco and Subs in Buffalo NY yesterday to speak with supporters of ETSUnion. ETS workers voted decisively for a union last November. There’s been an ongoing boycott of ETS because of employer retaliation and union-busting 🧵

ETSUnion Arjae is an organizer with Workers United and a former Starbucks worker and member Starbucks Workers United. The first unionized Starbucks on Elmwood Avenue is right next door to ETS. Arjae explained why they’re supporting ETSUnion.

"At the end of the day, if you say that you truly believe in your staff and your employees, then let THEM make the decision on what’s best for them!" Thanks again Assemblymember Dr. Anna R. Kelles (and your incredible rally pup) for supporting us as we fight for fair treatment across the Co-op!

REI would be smart to take a page from Starbucks and resolve things with REI workers who, like Starbucks workers, will never give up. And like Starbucks customers REI customers and members like myself, will hold this callous union busting top management accountable .

Reminder that JD Vance and Howard Schultz are old buddies — Vance took Schultz to Appalachia, where Schultz’s realizations about the opioid epidemic led him to decide to… open more Starbucks stores. Schultz wrote about this in his 2019 book — in chapter 10, “Share Your Blanket.”

Now Burlington union supporters can go to Starbucks for a late afternoon coffee, then head down the street to recently organized Gaku Ramen for dinner, and a block away for desert at unionized Ben & Jerry’s.

Congratulations to Compass workers and shame on management for trying to dilute the vote with various CEOs, friends and family.

Only 3 Democrats refused to sign on to the Pro Act, one of whom was Mark Kelly. The right to organize unions is the most important thing to labor so that's a hard no.
