They were a novelty and that is long gone. Their ownership is shite and fought employees for workplace basics, they fought unionization hard and did the standard union busting tactics since they couldn't be adults to begin with. They had people working during that 115° heat dome day in 2021.

Fuck that company.

Never been, are they a union shop now?

[–] pdxfed 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes; company was found guilty of illegally firing workers trying to unionize, it went before NLRB. Employees were then allowed to actually exercise their rights to organize, and voted to create Doughnuts Workers United.

Weak. Glad they got a union going though. Thanks for the heads up.
