Pavement Coffeehouse terminated 4 trans cafe workers today. After a year of receiving reports from queer employees, Pavement has failed to meaningfully address transphobic behavior at its stores.

Out of the employees who called out, only trans workers were fired, and 2 workers were misgendered in their termination letters. At a time where many parts of the country are targeting queer individuals, we expected better from Pavement.

We are asking community members to contact Bri Dusty, HR of Pavement Coffeehouse at [email protected] and ask that she reinstates the fired employees at their home store and that Pavement gives them back-pay for both suspension and termination time.

BREAKING: Tesla has fired 30+ workers at its Buffalo gigafactory, one day after workers there announced a unionization campaign. Tesla managers announced surprise performance reviews, then fired 8x as many workers as usual. Tesla is notorious for union-busting.

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

No Joe, you’re supposed to help the railroad workers… you got it backwards. A handful of sick days c’mon! Workers of the world unite! – at Los Angeles, CA
Joseph, while you’re fixing things with the railroad…get them to pass The Equality Act affording civil rights to the LGBTQ community. And extend the child tax credit. How bout the 35$ cap on insulin … all’s I’m saying, a few things already passed in the house. C’mon buddy

BREAKING: The largest railroad workers union, SMART-TD, has voted to reject a tentative contract agreement. Meanwhile, BLET, the second largest union, has voted to approve the agreement. If SMART-TD or other unions strike all the rail unions will honor the picket lines.
