Spyhouse Workers Are on Strike

On September 18, Workers from all 5 corporate owned Spyhouse Coffee locations will be executing a 1 day unfair labor practice strike.

Spyhouse workers have been fighting for stronger COVID safety measures for months. Workers report facing:

• Unclear Mask Policies
• Lack of enforced social distancing while ordering
• Lack of proper cleaning supplies
• Tables that are not socially distanced
• And more

Workers have filed a charge with the federal government asserting that our co-worker has been fired for supporting our push for their Union and stronger COVID safety measures
