Three Philly Coffee Shops Forced To Close After Unionization Attempts Result In "Staggering" Costs | ZeroHedge
Turns out trying to extort the person paying your salary isn't the best way to go about making sure a business is successful.
Take Philadelphia, for instance, where a chain of three OCF Coffee Houses are closing down "immediately" after its workers informed the owner of their intent to unionize.
Instead, now, none of them have jobs.
Real estate developer Ori Feibush, who owns the shops, met with employees on Monday said the shut down was a "difficult decision" and said that rising costs and reduced sales contributed to the decision, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He wrote in a letter to staff: ”But we pushed forward because we understood the positive impact we were making in our communities and the importance to maintain a level of compensation and benefits … that you each deserved."
Then he wrote that “the administrative and legal costs associated with your desire to organize has regrettably moved us beyond any cost that we could sustain."
Feibush said about 45 people worked at OCF’s three coffee shops. He noted that workers, earning $20 to $25 per hour plus benefits, would receive three months of health, vision, and dental coverage, with some eligible for severance.
He said of the costs of responding to the unionization were “staggering beyond anything — tens of thousands of dollars in just the [last] week and a half.”
"It put its finger on the scale in such a profound way as it relates to the finances of the organization that it was just a strain that we couldn’t reliably overcome.”
One barista (former) told the Inquirer: “This does feel like retaliation.” Another said: “It’s all just so incredibly sudden. We’re all just in the lurch trying to figure out what to do.”
“There was some talk of shutting down but we genuinely believed that our connections with the community, especially in Fairmount, are so strong that he wouldn’t do it — we’re where people get their drinks and their lunch and have meetings every single day,” the first barista continued.
He continued, railing on the owner: "I just think it’s really reflective of how little Ori actually cares about the community to shut down these locations.”
Alex Riccio, a Local 80 spokesperson and the organizing coordinator of the Philadelphia Joint Board (PJB) of Workers United added: “OCF workers took a courageous stand against a bully boss … That same bully boss chose to shutter his operations, without even the grace of advance notice."
It looks like now the baristas will have find a new "bully boss".

Notice how none of the disgruntled ex-employees would give their names.
Good luck making $25/hr slinging coffee anywhere else, Retards.

One thing that is never published by a MSM discussion on the unionization issue is what are the monthly union dues? Getting a $100 a month raise isn't worth much if most is eaten up by union dues.
Nothing says gun rights like being the picked candidate of the Brady PAC.
Smoke and Mirrors: Montana Dem Senator Jon Tester Talks Gun, Hunting Rights While Taking Money from Brady PAC - The Truth About Guns
Smoke and Mirrors: Montana Dem Senator Jon Tester Talks Gun, Hunting Rights While Taking Money from Brady PAC
By Lee Williams -June 11, 2024
Three-term U.S. Senator Jon Tester, D-Montana, is in a fight for his political life. Tester’s Republican challenger, Tim Sheehy, a Navy SEAL combat veteran, has received strong support from GOP leadership and an endorsement from former President Donald J. Trump.
Tester’s seat is considered one of the most vulnerable in the Senate. One reason: Montanans love their guns, and Joe Biden – the titular head of Tester’s party – is the most anti-gun president the country has ever seen.
As a result, Tester has tried to tap dance around guns and Second Amendment issues. His reelection campaign even released a video that shows him traveling the state in an old pickup with a Model 99 Savage in a gunrack, while the narrator talks about Tester’s strong support for “gun safety and hunter education.”
Tester’s 2A tap dancing ended Friday at around 3 p.m., when he sent an email to his supporters announcing that Brady PAC would match campaign donations for 48 hours:

The very idea that a barista or burger flipper deserves a high enough wage to pay all of their bills, including health insurance, retirement contributions and a mortgage is fucking ridiculous and will never be sustainable. We all know it. But some people have to learn the shortfalls of Socialism the hard way, because they're too dumb, delusional and melodramatic to pass Econ 101 at their local Community College.
Your move, Cho Bai Den
Trump the libertarian
Here's how I framed it
So, a single taxpayer making $50,000 using the standard deduction would have a federal income tax of about $4,100 and a 12% marginal tax rate. A single taxpayer making a $1 million would have a federal income tax of about $328,200 and a marginal tax rate of 37%. That's 80 times the 50k dude. Toss in all the property and sales tax the million dollar dude is paying plus and social security and medicare taxes. Similar disparity with state income taxes which in high state income taxes pushes the total marginal rate on fed and state income taxes to over 50% and yet Team Dazzler and the dude want more money to waste and claim we are undertaxed.
