    Witness the unbridled power of people applying to jobs thinking "huh, that one sounds like a coop or something"

      It used to be called Alterra, which I thought was a somewhat better name. Then they sold that brand or somethng? I dunno.

        Nestle tried buying them, but accidentally only bought the name, so they use the alterra name for the coffee in their corporate coffee machines

            Ah it turns out i had it wrong, it was mars corporation, not nestle, and they tried to buy the whole company, but ended up just buying just the name/brand after a bunch of negotiations for an estimated $2.4 million (so they could say “founded in milwaukee in 1993” on their coffee pods for Flavia brand coffee makers used in big offices)

        lmao they had to turn off comments on IG and FB cause of how much they were getting roasted. If anyone wants to send them an angry email heres their address info@colectivocoffee.com (dont send anything that would look bad on the union)

      Google local unions around you in a field you might be interested in and call up the union hall and see what they require of you. You may need to get certified depending on the job, there is just all different requirements for the different fields. Or you can check online if one near you has resource available to read about how to apply. See if local unions have a Facebook page if you can't find anything else, someone might be able to recommend good steps. Good luck
