Enough is enough. Staff and owners at Green Top have demanded for months that action be taken to address continuous and significant concerns about workplace violations and discrimination in the store. The Co-Op was founded on ideals of fairness, inclusiveness, integrity, and a safe work environment. These pillars have been explicitly broken, and  that no action has been taken to protect employees who have fallen victim to multiple policy violations committed by other staff members. Multiple former staff members have also been treated unfairly and have received no support in fighting for their wrongful termination in the last months. We have been told that our safety is not a priority, that we are too emotional, and that we should walk out the door and leave our jobs instead of continue to fight for what is right. 

Although we do not have a union, there was not other option but to initiate a strike. Workers chose to strike on Wednesday, April 14th and have continued to withhold their labor despite NO ACTION taken by management. Many staff members worry for their job security and pay, although they chose to stand behind Green Top and its values until drastic changes are made within the store. We hope you will stand by us too as we organize in solidarity to protect our staff and owners from harmful and unethical workplace practices. We truly care about the future success and values of GTG Co-Op and will stand by that until the end.

Funds from this page will be safely and securely distributed to the employees who have continued to strike since Wednesday or who have ongoing wrongful termination cases. 


This story below provides specific details about the strike and was published Thursday, April 15th. It will be updated by the end of today, Saturday April 17th.
