Workers at Peet’s Coffee on Telegraph Avenue and Dwight Way rallied outside their store Sunday, calling for a fair severance package and the right to transfer after learning the store will be closing this coming Friday.
The company has not released official store closure numbers.
However, employees in communication with other stores estimate that nearly 30 Peet’s Coffee locations across San Francisco, Davis, San Diego and Chicago will be closing with no transfer opportunities for employees, according to Dino Solis, a barista at the Telegraph and Dwight Peet’s Coffee, and a delegate from the Peet’s Labor Union. Workers who have been at the company longer than six months will be given a week-long severance package, according to Peet’s Union delegate and barista Hex Duncan.
With 15 to 20 workers at most locations, Solis said this will mean hundreds of people losing jobs.
