“We all were waiting for this, and we finally got it. Organizing before going public was not easy at first, but we managed to pull through. I am very elated that we managed to pull off this amazing victory, and I would like to congratulate and thank all of my wonderful peers at store 7733—we have supported each other throughout our organizing process and we all had a hand in making this happen. I cannot wait to see where things go from here,” said Dior Pemberton, a barista of 1.5 years.
