The Daily Press in Ocean Hill has partnered with Workers United NY/NJ — a North American labor labor union which represents nearly 86,000 workers, including recently-unionized Starbucks workers in Brooklyn – to transform the café into a cooperatively-run business. Now, all decisions regarding scheduling, wages, sick time and vacation are made democratically by the employees.
