Rally for worker rights!

YEARS ago -2020, 2019, maybe- I posted on this sub looking for a lawyer to help a “friend” who was being abused by her employer. Wage theft, harrassment, general predatory behavior. And as soon as folks found out that my friend was a bikini barista, the pitchforks came out. You all sided with the owner. No lawyer wanted to touch this. Why? Cause bikini baristas are s*x workers??? A sentence created in Seattle and only uttered in the PNW.

Well finally, years after I tried helping, and nearly 15 years since this owner started preying on young women, justice is finally being done. Hopefully. A shout-out to the women who kept on fighting and found their allies and lawyers and are having their day in court. And a big F-U to everyone who shames and ridicules and laughs at this issue cause they think bikini baristas aren’t real people. Trump and MAGA agree with you.

(And for the record, the owner of Beehive is the ‘easy’ case. His brother, the owner of Paradise Espresso, is also having his day in court soon for much more serious crimes, among them serial s*xual assault.
