Congratulations to the recently organized workers at Colectivo Coffee in Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago. Cafe workers recently voted to unionize with the IBEW 494 and IBEW Local 1220 giving them a powerful voice in their workplace. This is a victory for all workers and stands to inspire workers in the service and hospitality industries as well as other industries to come together in union.
As Colectivo workers prepare to bargain a first union contract, show your support this Labor Day weekend. We join together with the IBEW Local 494 in a reverse boycott encouraging you to visit Colectivo locations over the Labor Day weekend and order your coffee “IBEW Strong. Click here for the Facebook event.
How to participate in the Colectivo Reverse Boycott:
- Head to a local Colectivo between Friday, September 3 and Monday September 6.
- Congratulate workers on becoming union.
- Order your coffee/food IBEW strong and your name.
- Take a photo and post on social media with the #ColectivoUnion #IBEWstrong hashtags.
- If ordering via the app, change your name to: IBEWSTRONGyourfirstname with no spaces.
The reverse boycott weekend of action is to show support for the workers of Colectivo as well as provide added revenue to the employer over the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Please consider supporting the baristas and cafe workers by patronizing Colectivo Coffee and ordering your coffee IBEW Strong.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!
