Blue Bottle workers can barely afford to make ends meet while Nestle—Blue Bottle’s majority owner—rakes in hundreds of billions a year.Blue Bottle baristas across Boston are unionizing to demand their fair share.

Their "fare share" - lol.
How about you go out, rent space, buy the equipment, buy the supplies, do the marketing, pay for the insurance - then claim your "fair share" of the profits, m'kay?

Oh, let's be generous and say that the average latte is $7 -that's 500 per 8/hr shift. Assuming 30 min lunch and 2x15 min break - that's 7 hours making lattes or roughly 71 per hour or 1.1 lattes per min this person is lying about making.

I hope they can supply police with an accurate description of the assailant who held a gun to their head and forced them to work at Blue Bottle for slave wages.

Their job could easily be replaced by a machine. And probably will soon. I don't say this with glee as it's going to lead to tough times for many folks. But really, you're not an artist. Not special. You're not even a cook let alone a chef or baker. You're just making coffee. And you work for NESTLE, girl. They're like as evil as it gets. LOL.

Coffee is very important. A trillion dollar industry. I don't eat fast foods anymore but I do indulge in a coffee a day and not everyone makes a coffee the way I like. Not a skill to be dismissed

They now have robots preparing drinks in some establishments in Vegas. Last night on the news they featured a new robot waitress.
These jobs are going the way of the dinosaur very quickly. These people better figure out a different way to make a living.

Blue Bottle is my favorite coffee shop in LA. The baristas I’ve chatted with seem perfectly happy and seem to think working there beats Starbucks. I’m not sure why this individual thinks they should be raking in the big bucks… as a barista. No one is a career barista, this is a job you have to get by in between gigs, or while in school.

What? Only owners of an establishment should expect to make a living wage?
I'm really disappointed in some of the responses in this thread.

For those wondering about the name, "W. James Freeman founded Blue Bottle Coffee in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District.[5] Freeman borrowed the name from one of Europe's first cafés, The Blue Bottle Coffee House."
