Blue Bottle Independent Union

Lots of wins during this month’s bargaining session!

We secured core demands including:
1. Minimum hours for part timers.
2. A clear attendance policy
3. Protections from layoffs, subcontracting, & customer harassment
4. Meetings twice a year to bring up issues and push for more change.
5. A limited & narrow “management rights”

Ahead of this month’s bargaining session, 84% of members voted to authorize our union to call a strike at any moment.

Should Blue Bottle choose to return to bad faith negotiating, insult our membership, or commit any other unfair labor practices, our union is ready and willing to strike!!
We are preparing to go for longer than ever in order to secure wages which baristas can live on.

25% of Blue Bottle baristas rely on SNAP to afford groceries. Another 25% of baristas financially provide for dependents. Blue Bottle’s wages are untenable and forces many into a Dickensian existence.

For our union to win wages that we can live on we need to demonstrate that substantial increases to wages will be cheaper for Blue Bottle than delaying reaching an agreement.

Donate to our strike fund to help our union WIN!
