Fair Trade
(2f, 2m, 1 nonbinary)
Daniel is the best barista at True Roast, a coffee shop that’s organizing to form a union. On the day of the union vote, his new co-worker, a robot barista named Jo, threatens not only his superiority on the espresso machine, but his sense of purpose. When they form a surprising friendship, Daniel must choose between the union and his own career.
Fair Trade asks: what are the limits of collective action, especially when one’s sense of self is at stake?
