📣 Support the Blue Bottle Independent Union
Nestlé is one of the biggest corporations in the world charged with decades of human rights violations in the global south. They’re now in our backyard intimidating baristas with surveillance, firing, and bad-faith bargaining. Last week, baristas in four Bay Area locations of Nestlé-owned Blue Bottle presented management with a super majority of union cards and demanded voluntary recognition. Instead, Blue Bottle fired one of the organizers, B.B. Young. This comes at an especially bad time for B.B. since their husband was also recently laid off.
Blue Bottle workers are asking for our support
- Donate at this GoFundMe page
- Sign the petition to demand that the company voluntarily recognize the Blue Bottle Independent Union
- Join the Blue Bottle Independent Union email list or follow on Instagram to stay in touch
- If you are an employee of Blue Bottle, fill out this intake form to get involved with organizing the union at your own store
