Starbucks Workers United recently celebrated the unionization of their 600th store, disproving reams of conventional wisdom: you can’t organize small shops… you can’t organize high-turnover workplaces… you can’t organize young people.

For a gripping first-person account of how it happened, read Jaz Brisack’s new book Get on the Job and Organize.

Brisack, who uses they/them pronouns, salted at the first Starbucks store to unionize, in Buffalo, New York, but the book starts with their roots in the South and the attempt by the Auto Workers to unionize a big Nissan assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi in 2017.
