More Perfect Union
Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
This video documents the successful unionization efforts at Pavement Coffeehouse in Boston. It highlights the workers' motivations, including concerns about management, toxic work environments, and the desire for better working conditions and pay.
Inside this video
From More Perfect Union:
“The more I started talking with organizers about what a union could provide, I realized it was exactly what we needed at Pavement.”
“Unionizing was about shifting the balance of power back from management into the hands of the workers.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
