In my opinion, instead of trying to unionize these low margin retail jobs, an alternative approach is to encourage younger people to go into the trades. The economics of service jobs make it an uphill battle for the employers to ever pay living wages. Jobs in trades on the other hand pay very well and are in high demand. It’s not a bad thing overall for barista jobs to be part time or starter jobs, while people prepare for careers that do pay well.
