SF Bay Area Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World, celebrating 120 years of radical grassroots unionism. APTP; Peet’s Coffee; City Lights, Moe’s, and Copperfield Books; Urban Ore, Caliber Schools, Berkeley Ecology Center… and your workplace?
ICYMI APTP management has been lashing out online at anyone who tries to hold them accountable for union busting. You can infer how toxic a workplace APTP is by the way management has been engaging community members. 1/5

Last Wednesday @antipoliceterrorproject fired two of our union members abruptly in clear retaliation for unionizing. Please donate today to support our comrades (LINK BELOW) and send emails to aptpinfo@gmail.com demanding their reinstatement. Shameful! www.spotfund.com/story/a279c5...

We know folks have been wondering. Here’s our election update!

TLDR: The election is still unresolved due to three contested ballots. Now we are preparing for a costly post-election hearing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Workers with unions have better wages and benefits than non-union shops — but that’s not all. Collective bargaining will give us a chance to improve our working conditions in non-economic areas too — from remote work policies to professional development to a 30-hour week. 1/2

All workers deserve a union.

We all deserve to have job security, workplace protections, and a voice in our working conditions. Without a union workers are “at-will” meaning they can be fired at any time for any reason. Without a union workers are vulnerable to abuses on the job… 1/3

YDSA and the IWW were out today supporting our Co-Chair and @peetslaborunion member Deya, who was fired in the morning for her union organizing.

If you are interested in supporting Peet's workers, come to our emergency meeting tomorrow at 7 PM at the Grassroots House.

Peet’s Workers: “Instead of raising workers' wages from the bare minimum that we're being paid, Peet's Coffee Inc., owned by the multinational conglomerate JAB Holdings, spent over $100,000 to break apart our union, and distributed misleading materials in an attempt to divide us. 1/3

On October 24th, 2024, workers at Peet’s on NE Broadway in Portland won their NLRB union certification election in a clean sweep, 11-0!
