Union Busting is Disgusting! Standing with Starbucks Workers United for fair contracts + better work conditions. @sbworkersunited.org @drtoddaft.bsky.social

Don't buy Starbucks gift cards this holiday season!

Attention Seattle allies - we're not done yet! 📍Meet us at Starbucks HQ tomorrow at 12pm PST for a picket and speakout, featuring Rep. @jayapal.house.gov, striking baristas, and Girard Montejo-Thompson of Seattle Education Association. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/seiuorganizi...

Baristas are bringing their historic Red Cup Rebellion straight to Starbucks’ doorstep. Starbucks can buy all the holiday commercials it wants, but it can’t hide from the workers demanding a union contract. #NoContractNoCoffee

We stand united. All workers deserve to be heard in their workplace! Stay warm and keep striking! #NoContractNoCoffee #DontCrossThePicketLine #starbucks

3⃣7⃣ days on national ULP strike. We're in this for the long haul and are ready to keep fighting until Starbucks stops union busting and settles a fair contract 💪 PS: Say good morning to our striking baristas in Ashburn, VA!

We joined SBWU baristas at Seattle HQ to tell CEO Brian Niccol: NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE! ☕🚫 Baristas have been fighting for a contract since 2021 while their CEO makes 6,666x the avg Starbucks barista. SEIU 925 stands in solidarity with our union siblings during their ongoing ULP strike!

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work. Brian makes 6,666 times the average Starbucks worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500! The visuals write themselves...

Baristas & allies are in front of Starbucks HQ, demanding CEO Brian Niccol come out and sign our pledge. It's time for Starbucks to present us with reasonable contract proposals, and it's time to resolve the 100s of outstanding unfair labor practices. Let's finish this already! #NoContractNoCoffee

Storytime from Seattle!

JUST IN: This morning, hundreds of baristas have joined our national ULP strike. ☕ The solidarity is strong: For every one barista on strike, dozens more allies have shown up in force to back our cause. Our strike continues to grow in strength and power! #NoContractNoCoffee

A study released earlier this year showed that 60% of Americans can’t afford a minimal quality of life. On another… unrelated… note, corporations are hitting record profits every single month.

“They don’t want working people to have a voice.” @silviabaldwin.bsky.social reports that over 3,800 baristas are on strike with @sbworkersunited.org in the longest national work stoppage in the company’s history—demanding fair pay, stable hours, & real democracy at work.

Starbucks workers are STILL striking. Here's some easy ways you can support us, with links in the replies:

We've been on our national ULP strike for THIRTY FIVE DAYS and we're only getting louder. Starbucks: stop union busting and settle a fair union contract now! #NoContractNoCoffee

If you’ve ever gone home sore, underpaid, and disrespected, you are not alone. You are the majority. And when the majority unionizes, things change.

Today's action continues the joint worker solidarity that happened over the weekend when boycotting Windmill mushroom workers met with striking Starbucks baristas and discussed their mutual struggle in Eugene OR. #NoContractNoCoffee #BoycottWindmillmushrooms

SOLIDARITY! Sunnyside WA farm workers were proud to participate in Starbucks baristas "Stop buying Starbucks Day of action." Farmworkers stand in solidarity w/ striking @sbworkersunited.org workers who've been fighting for a fair union contract for almost 4 years. #NoContractNoCoffee

I joined a briefing with @sbworkersunited.org and fellow lawmakers to hear about Starbucks workers' fight to unionize stores in Philly, Pittsburgh & across PA. ☕ They're organizing for safer working conditions, better wages and adequate staffing - but Starbucks has refused to come to the table.

Hundreds of fast food workers, Starbucks baristas on ULP strike, @sagaftra.org members, and allies are in Los Angeles RIGHT NOW demanding Starbucks finalizes a fair union contract. The longer @sbworkersunited.org's ULP strike goes on, the more the labor movement is showing up! #NoContractNoCoffee!

"Starbucks, the company, is behaving irrationally. As more and more stores go union the companies shortsightedness will become glaring and indefensible. It will become clear that Starbucks management is creating structural fragility." @sagaftra.org President #SeanAstin in LA right now

Re-sharing this story today and every day this week cause I can't thank the people who spoke to me enough and you should read it for their sakes at least, also can't believe I forgot to tag @videogameworkers.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social the first time wccftech.com/cwa-canada-t...

No matter what Starbucks does to try and stop us, we know we deserve a fair workplace. Our strength is in our solidarity - and we won't stop fighting until Starbucks ends its union-busting and finalizes fair contracts ✊

BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV. It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith. Shame on Starbucks!

ICYMI: Striking Starbucks workers are protesting at two of the company's giant distribution centers, which service both the east and west coasts. Wherever Starbucks is, our picket lines will be there, too! ✊ #NoContractNoCoffee

Baristas on ULP strike are braving the cold at Starbucks's Nevada distribution center to send a message loud & clear: Wherever Starbucks is, our picket line will be there, too. We need the company to finalize contracts and resolve all unfair labor practices! #NoContractNoCoffee

"Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money. And they don’t care about the games. They don’t care about the art. They just want their money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social

BREAKING: In Minden, NV, striking baristas are now arriving at Starbucks's distribution center for western states! From PA to NV, we're showing the world how urgent it is for Starbucks to listen to their workers. It's time for a fair first contract and for Starbucks to resolve ULPs NOW.

We're back! Baristas on ULP strike have once again brought the picket line to Starbucks's biggest regional distribution center in York, PA. We're making sure that Starbucks hears us: we need finalized contracts, an end to union-busting, and resolution to all outstanding unfair labor practices.

@sbworkersunited.org began unionizing stores four years ago. They deserve their first union contract.

3⃣0⃣ days on strike - this is officially the longest national ULP strike in Starbucks' history. Listen to our striking baristas in Austin, TX: Don't cross our picket line! Stop buying Starbucks. #NoContractNoCoffee

Starbucks baristas across the state are on strike! After years of bargaining delays, @sbworkersunited.org members are calling out CEO Brian Niccol, who makes 6,666X what an average barista makes. Don’t cross the picket line. Remember: NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE!

Starbucks workers and unions in 10 countries are taking action in solidarity with US baristas on a national ULP strike. This is what global solidarity looks like — workers standing together across borders, fighting for dignity, fair pay, and a real contract. 🤝 https://seiu.co/48PR1K6

Congrats to all the winners and nominees tonight! And our biggest of thanks to folks who turned up on our picket line, took a flier or zine, or showed us support (either in person or online). The industry might be dead, but it is actively being reborn every day by the efforts of us: the developers.

around 40 game developers affiliated with @videogameworkers.bsky.social have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

Help us tell Starbucks that union-busting is bad for business. Sign the NO CONTRACT NO COFFEE pledge and spread the word: don’t buy Starbucks at ANY location for the duration of the ULP strike! nocontractnocoffee.org

so anyways here's Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol running into traffic to avoid talking to one of his baristas all while 1000s of baristas across 130+ cities are on ULP strike...

Post a bird to tell your followers not to buy Starbucks through the duration of their ULP strike. #NoContractNoCoffee #StarbucksWorkersUnited

Starbucks is forcing us into drastic action by refusing to finalize a fair union contract. Baristas are striking for a fair union contract, resolution of unfair labor practices, and a better future at Starbucks. Want to support striking baristas? STOP BUYING STARBUCKS!

This morning, in the largest expansion yet, hundreds of new union baristas are walking off the job in 34 cities. That means there are now: 🗣️ 3,800 baristas ☕️ across 180 stores 📍 in over 130 cities on an open-ended ULP strike! We’re 👏 only 👏 getting 👏 stronger

We would be remiss not to show off some of our other brand new SBWU baristas who won their elections in: Naperville IL, Indianapolis IN, Bowling Green KY, Paducah KY, and Palm Beach FL! Are you a Starbucks barista interested in joining our union? Get in touch! sbworkersunited.org/take-action/

Just because we're on national ULP strike doesn't mean we stop organizing. We've won 7 union elections in just the last few weeks! 150 baristas have joined the union while we're on ULP strike. Here are 2 of our newest stores in St. Paul & Portland. Give it up for worker power! 🔥

tl;dr - For every $1M Starbucks paid Brian Niccol, they fell 1 spot on WSJ's List of Best Managed Companies 🥲 www.wsj.com/business/c-s...

SOLIDARITY! Today labor is holding a global day of action to show solidarity for the Starbucks baristas ULP strike. Farm workers are proud to support with these brave @sbworkersunited workers who have been fighting for a fair union contract for almost 4 years. #NoContractNoCoffee

Today is bigger than just Chicago, though. While baristas are on ULP strike in 100+ US cities, allies across the world are participating in a Global Day of Action to show solidarity with our fight. We're unified and saying "NO CONTRACT? NO COFFEE!" ✊🔥 bsky.app/profile/iufa...

HAPPENING NOW: Striking Starbucks workers have brought their picket line to the Chicago Roastery today, the largest Starbucks in the world - and the store has already shut down. Wherever Starbucks is, we’ll continue to bring our picket lines there, too. ✊

The weather isn't stopping us from bringing the noise to our picket. And Chicago, we're just getting started💪 #NoContractNoCoffee

The Chicago Roastery is just the beginning. Announcing the DOWNTOWN THROWDOWN - striking baristas will be picketing for 48 HOURS STRAIGHT all across Chicago's Loop and River North! Come out and make some noise with us, and remember: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location while we're on ULP strike!

striking baristas 🤝 union drivers

Within 2 days of getting paid, the average American has spent half of their paycheck. It’s not being spent on “luxuries;” it’s being used to cover groceries, housing, utilities, credit card payments, and other basic expenses. This is unsustainable. This is a cost of living crisis.
