Good Karma Cafe baristas vote against Workers United union in rare reversal

If Transport Workers Local 234 votes to give their leaders the power to call for a strike, a possible walkout could happen as soon as New Year’s Day.

Unionized dockworkers are the most recent group of U.S. workers to back their demands for better contracts by walking off the job.

More than a year after Good Karma Cafe workers voted for a union, there’s still no contract so there’s a new election that may kick out Workers United.
