Workers At Hex & Co. Board Game Cafe In Manhattan Seek To Unionize With Workers United ‘Despite Management's Refusal To Recognize’
(NEW YORK CITY) - Workers at Hex & Co., the three-location Board Game Bar/Cafe Chain - including the largest board game cafe in Manhattan, have delivered a letter to management asserting their right to collectively bargain and asking ownership to voluntarily recognize their Union with Workers United.
The Hex & Co Bargaining Unit will include about 75 Employees, including Baristas, Retail Workers, Bartenders, After School Program Workers and Workers who run some of the games, also known as "Dungeon Masters."
"We want a livable wage, we want a path to advancement in the company to be clear and we want adequate staffing to handle the multitude of jobs we are asked to do," a Worker says in a video of the Employees presenting their letter to management at the Cafe's Upper East Side location.
"We've had Co-Workers and friends who have had to leave not only this job, but also New York, because they just couldn't afford to stay," Employee Jace Alejo said. " All we are asking for is to be recognized and properly supported by this company that we already give so much to."
Hex & Co.'s management responded to their Workers' request by refusing to recognize the Union, instead calling for a National Labor Relations Board Election.
