MWC and Stand Up KC leader Terrence Wise spoke at this weekend’s event about how Leonard’s work provided a foundational analysis for low-wage workers and allies to build multiracial power across Missouri.

He was a world-renowned anti-racist researcher whose work involved documenting with great clarity, insight, and rigor the rising threat of white nationalism over the course of decades.

#MOworkers and community members gathered in Kansas City over the weekend for a memorial and teach-in hosted by IREHR to reflect on the brilliant legacy of Leonard Zeskind. Leonard was a dear friend, ally, and mentor to MWC who passed away in April.

“Workers deserve respect NOW. That is our right. Workers deserve a living wage NOW. That is our right. We're not asking for permission anymore... Kaldi’s needs to voluntarily recognize us and meet us at the bargaining table NOW!”

Kaldi’s workers have fought hard for months to win equipment improvements, raises, and paid time off during a kitchen closure. Now they’re using their strength in numbers again to demand a real voice on the job, starting with support from a supermajority of workers at Skinker!
November 6, 2025 at 1:41 AM
🪧 At today’s campaign launch, Kaldi’s workers across eight stores announced they’re *already* filing for union recognition at the Skinker location — with more stores to follow suit!

“I am proud to support Kaldi's Coffee workers as they join with Missouri Workers Center and UNITE HERE Local 74 to advance these core values."

"This Friday, I will introduce Resolution 147 in support of the unionization efforts of Kaldi’s employees. When we go to work, we expect three simple things: dignity, respect, and fairness. That is what this resolution stands for."

“For months, I tried to become a kitchen lead. Management instead offered the job to a white coworker, who I had trained. That person quit so I went after the position again. They’ve kicked the can down the road since.”

Iana McAllister, Kaldi’s worker and MWC leader

“As the union for food service and hospitality workers in St. Louis, and for many coffee shop workers around the country, we are proud to support Kaldi’s workers in their campaign to unionize with UNITE HERE Local 74.”

UNITE HERE Local 74 president Kim Bartholomew

“Despite living with 4 other people, I live paycheck to paycheck. Every dollar and every calorie counts.

That’s why I came together with my coworkers at Skinker this summer. And we’ve seen that organizing gets the goods!”

Harry Campbell, Kaldi’s worker and MWC leader

“THIS is courage, compelled by righteous conviction and motivated by the knowledge that when we stand together, we accomplish what we can’t do ourselves. That’s what a union is all about!”
