    Do some math on profits for major companies/# of employees. My old company was making a yearly profit of nearly a million dollars per employee.

    At my old roastery, I produced $1200 worth of coffee and hour (at a bare minimum) and made $18.

    It's a little bit disheartening to not hear them discuss agricultural workers in the global South who are hyper-exploited by nestle. Like, you are making a pittance at $12/hour and doing all of the finishing labor, but they are making less than $0.50/hour and doing brutal physical labor outdoors for much longer shifts.

    It's vital that the global North coffee labor movement recognize and advocate for the global South workers their industry relies upon. Anything less is the most vulgar kind of labor aristocracy.
