All this while Starbucks is the biggest violator of US labor law in modern history, btw

Oklahoma City Pride has banned Starbucks from their parade. You can't be for LGBTQ+ rights and union-bust workers asking for fair protections, fair pay, and accessible healthcare. It's as simple as that.

This is how things get better.

Starbucks knows where baristas stand. They know the demands. Baristas have been fighting for a contract since 2021 and it’s high time #Starbucks provides a real proposal that increases take-home pay, provides more hours, improves staffing, and resolves ongoing unfair labor practice charges.

"The median pay for a Starbucks worker in 2024 was $14,674, compared with CEO Brian Niccol’s compensation of $97.8m the same year. 'It’s been really hard to see myself and my co-workers struggle just to get by... Meanwhile, [Niccol] commutes to work with the company’s private jet...'"

The joy of announcing you've organized a union... there's nothing like it 🥲

The pressure against Starbucks is growing from all directions. Customers and allies uniting to NOT BUY STARBUCKS is key. Delete your Starbucks app and tell everyone you know to avoid Starbucks until real changes are made! www.thepourover.coffee/union-avoida...

Starbucks management tried to convince a pregnant worker she couldn’t use the bathroom when she needed to. Luckily, she had a union at her store - and it’s yet another problem that could’ve been avoided if Starbucks stopped stalling at the bargaining table:

THIS is the union difference! Baristas have organized, bargained, and stood together. Fair union contracts NOW

STOP BUYING STARBUCKS.

One easy change you can make to fight back against corporate greed: STOP BUYING STARBUCKS. Here's why:

When Starbucks baristas in Roswell, GA filed for a union election, corporate panicked and immediately gave workers more hours... even though staffing requests had been ignored for months. Taking action as a union is how we win better conditions on the job!

Petition to name this the “Starbucks bill”

When both Democrats AND Republicans think Starbucks's union-busting is out of line... Companies like Starbucks shouldn't be allowed to get away with repeated federal complaints over refusing to negotiate with workers.

BREAKING: Starbucks baristas at the University Heights store in Providence, RI just won their union!!! Congratulations! (this cat is not part of the bargaining unit but told local reporters all union-busters deserve hair balls in their shoes)

Starbucks baristas at 700 stores across the country have voted for a union. They are standing shoulder to shoulder demanding respect, fair wages, a real contract, and an end to union-busting. The time for stalling is over, #Starbucks must return to the table and get this deal done.

NO CONTRACT NO COFFEE Try another coffee shop! Check out your local shop if you have one! Or make coffee at home!

In case you needed a reminder: union baristas are still asking you to NOT BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location. Delete the app off your phone, and sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge to get updates on local calls to action! nocontractnocoffee.org

It was great talking to you, @pocan.house.gov ! Listen to an SBWU bargaining delegate talk about the realities we face at Starbucks, and why a fair union contract is so important:

Happy Pride! The cause of labor is the hope of the world!

Starbucks workers are fighting for a living wage. Last year, Starbucks’ CEO made more than $30 million while many baristas relied on SNAP and Medicaid to make ends meet. @sbworkersunited.org is working to change that and has already won elections at nearly 700 locations.

This is what democracy in the workplace looks like. Let’s go, union baristas in Lancaster PA! 💪

Nashville is a union town - and baristas, local leaders, and community allies wont Starbucks forget it. ✊

In their third open letter, Delaney strikers thanked community members for their support and asked them to keep fighting for justice for everyone unjustly detained at the GEO Group facility. “We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going.”

Starbucks employees have unionized 700 stores. Support them. Don't cross picket lines. Delete the app. @sbworkersunited.org mailchi.mp/444ab810599e...

A new @epi.org report found that US companies are spending more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting consultants and lawyers. They’ll spend unlimited money crushing workers’ voices and then claim there’s no money for better conditions.

Shame!

Shame on Starbucks for their recent promo in South Korea evoking the violent military repression of pro-democracy protestors. We stand in solidarity with pro-democracy movements globally. The fight for a union is a fight for democracy!

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are organizing, mobilizing and fighting for a fair contract in the face of unprecedented corporate greed. Along with all of America’s unions, they now have the solidarity and strength of 700 union stores standing with them. Change is brewing ✊

JUST PAY THE WORKERS

700 election wins!!!

700 election wins!!!

ALLIES: Sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge. Tell Starbucks union-busting is bad for business, and that you won't come back to a Starbucks until they finalize fair union contracts! nocontractnocoffee.org

Baristas participated in a work stoppage to air out grievances with management and Starbucks corporate. The reaction from customers in the lobby says it all!

this is like a dispatch from another timeline, but it really happened: a (pre-) shavuot celebration at Gracie Mansion, where the Muslim socialist mayor riffed on the Book of Ruth and talked about Jewish labor legends like Clara Lemlich and Rose Schneiderman. all the worst people coping and seething

We stand in solidarity with the workers of @sbworkersunited.org and call on everyone to join this Day of Action! RSVP at bit.ly/sbwumay23 today!

Hilarious that this photo is from a U.S. Senate hearing in which Howard Schultz was forced to testify about Starbucks’ historic union busting.
