Without our labor Blue Bottle wouldn’t be able to operate! So why won’t they pay us a living wage?

NEW: Blue Bottle workers told us they make $3,500 worth of lattes in a day, but take home just $144. They can barely afford to make ends meet while Nestle—Blue Bottle’s owner—rakes in hundreds of billions a year. Baristas across Boston are unionizing to demand their fair share.

Baristas attended the competition as a display of good faith toward management for this reason! We want to thank the workers and community supporters who joined our picket outside the Newbury location before the competition began!

As the flyer states, management rights clauses typically cede any power to control the workplace that is not specified in a contract to management. This is entirely antithetical to what we are fighting for, which is DEMOCRATIC CONTROL of the workplace.

One major issue with this (aside from the fact that workers deserve to democratically make decisions about their workplace) is that these clauses are incredibly expansive in the power that they give to management. Managers should not have unilateral power

Now, two union members will be traveling to NYC to compete in semi-finals. We kindly ask that Blue Bottle continue to show good faith toward their baristas by voluntarily recognizing our union on or before Monday April 8th at 12pm.
