"The NLRB defines 'supervisors' as having the power to hire, fire, discipline, promote, or assign tasks to workers. These two employees do not hold those powers," the Guild stated. "The Street Roots Workers Guild membership remains steadfast in its calls for the board to recognize the Guild and all its members immediately."
"[We are] disappointed the board is using Street Roots' time, money, and energy to fight a unanimous unionization effort rather than to support staff and vendors at a time of upheaval and uncertainty at Street Roots," the statement continued.
In a separate statement to the Mercury, the Guild said the board has "failed to engage with the union at all, despite numerous attempts via various avenues."
This afternoon, Street Roots Executive Director Kaia Sand announced her departure from the organization as of December 6, after seven years in the role. In a post on Substack, Sand wrote she is leaving to focus on writing, and indicated support for the union on social media.
