Workers at local coffee shop Remedy
House, 429 Rhode Island St., are working to form a union in an attempt to
improve working conditions at their place of work. Employees have complained
about things such as missing paychecks, an undesirable working environment, and
an overall lack of communication from the owners of the shop. Bailey Arena, a
shift lead and one of the union leaders at Remedy House, believes this move is
important for all workers involved at the coffee shop. “It’s about what is
right for the collective and how can we make sure everyone has a fair and safe
workplace,” Arena said. Both sides seem to be understanding of the other and
will work together towards a compromise. By Justin Siejak
