Seven Boston Blank Street Coffee Locations Vote for Unionzing

Is Empty street coffee Are you trying to be an indefinite third answer to Starbucks? The atmosphere of a high -class cafe in 2010 lives in over 100 store sites, regardless of whether coffee follows this, ymmv. But Blank Street also learns about another contemporary special coffee culture: relationships. Barists from all seven empty locations Boston Street voted in favor of union.

Like a report by WGBHVoting achieved super-amorivity among about 70 employees in the locations of the Boston, Brookline and Cambridge brands. The Blank Street model is based on a high number of sales using the smallest workforce, sometimes only three barists working at once. Which means that the company is based on a super-auto-automatic espresso machines. But according to EU baristas, machines often have technical issues that “employees are not authorized to solve independently.”

One barista resembles the time when they raised problems for the management, which corresponds to “through”[praising her] For bringing about USD 10,000 per day with only three people on the staff and promise of “making better” next year. ”

“It was a lack of empathy when our feet hurt, our arms, legs, everything hurts … At that moment we sat down and seriously considered how guys, we must unite. For our safety, our safety, well -being. We must do it.”

The organizers officially turned to Blank Street voluntarily recognized the relationship that he had not yet done. In E -Mail to WGBH, a representative from Blank Street refused to comment, nor would they confirm or recognize the relationship.

Having almost 50 US locations, Blank Street Union has the chance to become the second largest coffee compound, behind Starbucks Workers United. Who knows, maybe they will actually get a ratified contract before Starbucks.
