This was beautiful!! i am a former elixr barista (pre-union) and current proud and grateful member of a grad student union (and non-unionized bar worker). it's been so inspiring to watch this rising wave of barista unionization in philly and elsewhere, and i'm really interested to see if it will spread to the rest of the industry. the FOH-BOH segmentation is so real (and not an issue at lots of coffee shops that don't have separate BOH staff). it's so cool that green line workers were able to overcome those barriers <3 i'm rooting for you, green line workers!!
This is really beautiful-- I took part in unionizing a workplace, and it was really cool and lovely to have an opportunity to deepen relationships with colleagues and invite each other to step outside of our work personas and talk about how to support each other.

Elixr was one of my preferred ~1-on-1 spots~!!! And they partly inspired our relief fund :)
