Alendra 'Len' Harris says she feels validated by the judge's ruling, which she says also backs up the hundreds of similar allegations from other Starbucks workers around the country who have unionized in an effort to get better pay and working conditions.

I'm sure she's going to have an excellent working environment and management that really appreciates her.

Yeah, but good on her for fighting back.

I’ve been in a similar position, and can attest to it being something that takes a toll on your energy, mood, and health. The fact that she went to court and is going back is impressive as fuck.

Some times being the martyr is genuinely useful. She made an achievement, and she isn't obligated to stay afterwards. She could have just moved on without fighting for justice.

She only has to work one day to get her backpay
