Two coffee bars in Davis, CA have become the first Peet's Coffee shops in the nation to file for a union election. We're so excited to take this huge first step towards making Peet's an equitable workplace, but we need to know our community stands behind us to do it.

We are overworked, understaffed, and underpaid. Barista's raises are less than a tenth of inflation, there are pay discrepancies that do not align with seniority, skill, or any kind of logic, and we have been forced to shut down multiple times in the past month due to understaffing. We've had no viable recourse for removing toxic managers other than waiting for the problem to resolve itself. We need change. Now.

Meanwhile, our managers have been using union-busting tactics like Starbucks to divide and confuse us. They've called in corporate higher-ups to have conversations about unionizing with employees, they've reinstated punitive scheduling and dress code measures, and posted misleading informational fliers in break rooms.

We are fighting for fair wages, decent schedules, and corporate transparency, but two stores against a multimillion dollar corporation is a lonely battle. Peet's has always taken pride in its loyal customers and loving community, and we need that now more than ever. 

By signing this petition, you are standing with Peet's workers and showing us we are not alone in this fight for workplace democracy.
