We are asking community members to contact Bri Dusty, HR of Pavement Coffeehouse at bri@pavementcoffee.com and ask that she reinstates the fired employees at their home store and that Pavement gives them back-pay for both suspension and termination time.

Out of the employees who called out, only trans workers were fired, and 2 workers were misgendered in their termination letters. At a time where many parts of the country are targeting queer individuals, we expected better from Pavement.

Despite receiving reports for a year about the unsafe conditions, management continued to show a lack of empathy and care for the queer workers feelings throughout their investigation. They failed to perform a nuanced investigation, refusing to interview suspended workers.

Pavement’s Western Ave location in particular has been unsafe and mentally debilitating for quite some time. Last week, multiple employees called out for the next shift out of fear for their safety. Management reacted by claiming that this was an illegal work stoppage.

Pavement Coffeehouse terminated 4 trans cafe workers today. After a year of receiving reports from queer employees, Pavement has failed to meaningfully address transphobic behavior at its stores.

BREAKING: Tesla has fired 30+ workers at its Buffalo gigafactory, one day after workers there announced a unionization campaign. Tesla managers announced surprise performance reviews, then fired 8x as many workers as usual. Tesla is notorious for union-busting.

No Joe, you’re supposed to help the railroad workers… you got it backwards. A handful of sick days c’mon! Workers of the world unite!
Joseph, while you’re fixing things with the railroad…get them to pass The Equality Act affording civil rights to the LGBTQ community. And extend the child tax credit. How bout the 35$ cap on insulin … all’s I’m saying, a few things already passed in the house. C’mon buddy

BREAKING: The largest railroad workers union, SMART-TD, has voted to reject a tentative contract agreement. Meanwhile, BLET, the second largest union, has voted to approve the agreement. If SMART-TD or other unions strike all the rail unions will honor the picket lines.
