“when you look at what has happened inside Starbucks over just the last four years… you are not looking at a company that made some mistakes. You are looking at a mega corporation that made a choice, over and over again, to not invest in the people who make that promise possible in the first place.’

The $30/hour number Starbucks quotes? It's not a wage. It's a total compensation figure that requires benefits most baristas are deliberately scheduled too few hours to qualify for. New episode with @sbworkersunited.org is out now✊🏽 artofcitizenry.substack.com/p/no-contrac...

What's it like unionizing your Starbucks? Nick, a shift supervisor in Missouri, shares their store's story about what motivated them to get organized and create the change they wanted to see at work!

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which killed 146 workers & inspired a nationwide movement for workplace organizing. We gathered in NYC to pay respects & spoke with @juliesulabor.bsky.social about the ongoing fight for better protections in all jobs. ✊

EXCLUSIVE to The Daily Plover: We interview one of Orange County's newest mallard ducklings. Just minutes from Starbucks CEO's home, less than a week old, and already showing up for baristas! #NoContractNoCoffee #UnionsForAll

Until a fair contract is finalized, our union is still asking everyone to NOT BUY STARBUCKS and delete the Starbucks app off your phone! Sign the pledge and we'll also send you updates and local calls to action:

Collective action matters. When we fight, we win. ✊

Sbux turnaround “really hinges on this barista-customer connection, increasing in-store efficiency, reducing drink order complexities & improving partner support,” Patel said. “These are all things that actually the union baristas are asking for as well.” 🤷 www.restaurantdive.com/news/starbuc...

BREAKING: Nearly 1,000 faculty members at NYU are on strike. The union for non-tenured faculty, @CfuUaw, was optimistic about reaching an agreement this morning. But after giving the university a 3 hour extension, the two sides could not agree, and the strike is now on.

BREAKING: Starbucks is closing stores (non-union & union) in Seattle. They told the public they would look to transfer impacted baristas to other stores... but they’re doing the exact opposite. Now, workers across Seattle are walking out on ULP strike in solidarity! Do the right thing, Starbucks!

Workers are making their jobs better by taking action and standing as one ✊ Let’s go, Springfield MO!!!

Don’t let Starbucks bust unions & rip off its workers. #DeleteTheApp #Solidarity

BREAKING: Baristas in New York City aren't waiting around for luck to make their jobs better. 😎✊🍀 CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks workers in Manhattan, who just won their union at the Park Row at Beekman St store!

Exclusive: Next week REI workers will vote on calling a boycott of the retailer's big anniversary sale in May, a major escalation of their contract fight. Workers are confident shoppers would honor it: "Our members will absolutely understand why we’re doing this." www.huffpost.com/entry/rei-an...

In February, we sent Starbucks some very reasonable solutions to finishing our contracts. And it would only cost Starbucks less than one day's sales. We're looking forward to Starbucks's response to our proposals. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/13/s...

In February, we sent Starbucks some reasonable solutions toward finishing our union contracts. We're eagerly awaiting a response to these proposals. In the meantime, we participated in work stoppages this week to make sure leadership hears us! ✊ Let's land this contract, Starbucks!

As of this morning, nearly 4,000 workers are on strike at one of the largest beef plants in the US. Biggest meatpacking strike in decades.

Together, we're demanding the pay, hours, staffing and protections baristas need to succeed - and it would only cost Starbucks less than one day’s sales. Starbucks, it’s time to land a union contract and move forward!

Sign the contract, Starbucks!

No better feeling that organizing with your coworkers and WINNING 😌✌️ 🎈CONGRATULATIONS to Annapolis Harbour baristas in Maryland who won their union election tonight! They're joining over 10,000 of us who are demanding better from Starbucks! ✊

Tell Starbucks enough is enough. Sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge to tell Starbucks that corporate greed and union-busting is bad for business, and tell your friends to delete the Starbucks app off of their phones! nocontractnocoffee.org

Starbucks would rather spend ridiculous amounts on executive salaries, private jets, Bruno Mars concerts for management, and union-busting instead of treating their baristas with respect. It would cost LESS THAN ONE DAY'S SALES to finalize a fair union contract.

Starbucks’ CEO’s total compensation last year was $97,813,843. That’s 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista makes. It’s a new level of corporate greed. It would cost less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. We stand in solidarity with them in this fight.

"Starbucks baristas in Ann Arbor, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and St. Louis have held marches on the boss or other workplace actions demanding that ICE be barred from their worksites in the absence of a signed judicial warrant." labornotes.org/2026/03/keep...

Solidarity with students! ✊

"Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674." Remind us again why Starbucks supposedly can't afford to treat their workers better?

When we take action as a union, we win ✊

FACT: Starbucks has spent unfathomable amounts on union-busting their own workers. ANOTHER FACT: Baristas are cutting through the corporate BS and continuing to WIN! Congratulations to workers at Colorado's 14th & Tomichi store - they just won their union!!! ✊🔥

Did You Know?… Starbucks is the largest labor violator in modern history therealnews.com/starbucks-is... @sbworkersunited.org

Delete the app and don’t go back!

Get Starbucks off your phone! Delete the app. Spread the word!

STARBUCKS PARTNERS: Let's win a better Starbucks for everyone. We're stronger together! Reach out to an organizer today: bit.ly/m/SBWU

Did you know that Pittsburgh has one of the highest densities of union Starbucks stores in the country? CONGRATULATIONS to baristas at the Banksville Plaza store - they just won the 21st union Starbucks in Pittsburgh! ✊🔥

I shared this with 7 friends, and 5 of them deleted the app and thanked me for getting them engaged. 3 of them said they'd be urging their social networks to join in with us ✊ 🥰 bsky.app/profile/sbwo...

When people come together to fight injustice, we can make real impacts. Deleting the Starbucks app off your phone & getting 5 friends to do the same until baristas win a fair contract is one way you can directly help move the needle towards a better future for working people! bit.ly/deletetheapp

Lastly, don’t get it twisted, it is still #NoContractNoCoffee out here. @sbworkersunited.org is still fighting for dignity and wages nationwide, but particularly in LA for fair hours and scheduling alongside @cafastfoodunion.org.

Today our members joined @sbworkersunited.org members at city hall with Pastor James Thomas, President of the San Fernando Valley NAACP, to raise the alarm.

stay union strong, portland 😎 CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks workers at the Sylvan Retail store, who just won their union!!! 💪

Every action counts. ✊

Want a shot of good news today? Starbucks workers are continuing to organize their stores, win union elections, and fight back against corporate greed. Congrats to partners joining us this month in Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, & Ohio! ✊ Our union is better with you in it.

Baristas at the Disneyland Resort have hit 100 days on ULP strike! Going on strike this long isn't an easy decision, but it's also a necessary one. It would take Starbucks less than just 1 day's sales to finalize a multi-year contract with better pay, hours, and protections. JUST. ONE. DAY.

After four days on strike, educators in San Francisco won fully funded family healthcare, 8.5% raises for the lowest-paid workers, 5% raises for teachers, sanctuary protections from ICE, and emergency housing support for students. www.sfpublicpress.org/san-francisc... #UnionsForAll

Easy ways you can support baristas fighting for a historic first union contract: Stop buying Starbucks and delete the app ✊

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle. It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

Can't stop. Won't stop. Today in Riverside, California with the Inland Empire Labor Council

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores are fighting for respect and a fair contract while their CEO makes 6,666x what they do. If Starbucks won’t respect baristas, they don’t deserve our clicks and orders. Delete the Starbucks app!

STRIIIIIKE! While Starbucks spends millions on Super Bowl promotions & private plane flights for CEO Brian Niccol, stores continue to be neglected. Understaffing, low hours, partner safety, & inaccessible benefits continue to be a major issue, and union baristas are standing together to demand more!
