ELMO ON STRIKE

If you’re a leader in one of the 31 chapters I work w/, you received an email from me this morning. I’m sad to announce I, w 8 other staff, are at this point getting laid off. My separation date is sooner than others & my last day on DSA staff is 4/25. It’s truly been an honor.

they hate us.

The values of... lower wages... worse working conditions... and less job security?????

tell the boss you love them and youre good to salt, folks.

congrats to the union baristas who fought hard for this
