Welcome to Nickadhappit here, a podcast that boldly asked the question,

what if a whole bunch of your life wasn't controlled by the bizarre whims of random dictators?

This is your host, Mia Wong.

And the last time we saw the Blue Bottle Union, they had staged a walkout, treated a

clips.

Now they are back again to talk about union shit.

And yeah, with me is Alex Pine, who's the president of Blue

Bottle Union and Abby Sado, the secretary treasurer. Yeah, both of you too. Welcome to the show.

Hi. Thanks for having us both back on. Yes, thank you so much. Yeah, I'm really, I'm really excited

to talk about this because the last one, I've got to say, that was one of the

absolute funniest unique things I've ever heard. Yeah, I still can't get over how DHS got called on us when we tried to file for our election. So what inch? Like, I feel like this is, this is one of the things about doing the show is like, I'm like about to be five years into this, right? It's like, you think you've seen it all.

And then just like,

no, just the most unhinged bullshit you've ever heard in your entire life because like,

just like the capacity for cruelty and inventiveness of bosses is effectively infinite. So they

can always find some bullshit to pull that you've never seen before. And they love to do it too. Yeah.

This is one of the reasons why we unionized to begin with is just because bosses can be petty

tyrants. Yeah. And sometimes it seems like the only reason that they got into being a boss is because

they want to be a petty tyrant, but don't have the soul for politics. Anyways, yeah, we unionized last May for anybody that's unaware.

Blue Bottle is a so-called specialty coffee chain that is owned entirely by Nestle.
