American workers are taking home the smallest slice of the economic pie ever. One year into Trump's regime, the economic consequences are as clear as day: four out of five working class people are suffering while the top 1% capture more of the pie than they ever have.

Oh hey look who showed up to support striking Starbucks baristas. While the Unfair Labor Practices strike is ongoing, remember: DON’T BUY STARBUCKS. Pass it on.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

Hello, Fellow Workers! 2025 is quickly winding to a close, and that means it’s time to nominate and elect our 2026 branch officers! Details in thread:

Corporate greed is global. But so is worker power. Unions For All isn’t just a slogan — it’s the path to fairness.

The union estimated Thursday that more than 1,000 baristas across more than 65 stores in around 40 cities were participating in the strike against Starbucks.

Unionized Starbucks baristas on nationwide strike. Workers say their "Red Cup Rebellion" could be the largest and longest strike in company history #Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org #news

Unionized Starbucks baristas announced a strike on Thursday, including five locations in Philadelphia, amid stalled negotiations between the workers’ union and the company. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/business/sta...

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings

"Fight Fascism" Poster seen in Gainesville, Florida

While Starbucks baristas strike, we strike too — by not shopping there. This fight isn’t just about coffee. It’s about dignity, wages, and respect. America has No Kings — only working people united in solidarity. #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings www.nocontractnocoffee.org#pledge

Want to support workers on strike? ✅ Follow us + share our posts about NOT BUYING STARBUCKS! ✅ Sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge, & we'll send you local calls to action throughout the strike: nocontractnocoffee.org ✅ Donate to our strike fund: sbworkersunited.org

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Thank you all so much for stopping by our table at #GainesvillePride yesterday. 💕 And a big shout out to our Fellow Workers that manned the station for the day! Happy Pride from the Gainesville IWW! 🌈

It also contributes to a reentry kit waiting for someone the day they walk out of jail. That $25 helps fuel the hotline that never sleeps. It keeps our volunteers trained, our servers running, and our reentry database live and free to use. Every click has an echo, not in pity, but in power.

Let’s follow a $25 donation - and see how far it really goes. When you hit “donate,” your gift doesn’t disappear into administrative overhead. It becomes a phone card for someone behind bars who hasn’t spoken to their child in weeks. It buys stamps for our Mentor by Mail program.

This week, we’re inviting supporters to adopt a reentry kit - a simple way to say, “I see you, and I believe in your next chapter.” Each kit costs $25 and includes hygiene items, basic clothing, snacks, and a phone card. It’s a small package with a big message: you matter, and you’re not alone.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Happy Labor Day! Anybody see this in today's newspaper? ✊🔥 Sign our pledge to stand with over 12,000 union Starbucks workers and say No Contract, No Coffee! 👉 bit.ly/NoContractNoCoffee

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
