After years of bargaining, 12,000+ unionized baristas still don't have a contract. It's time for Starbucks and its $100M CEO to do the right thing and get a deal done. The Labor Community stands with @sbworkersunited.org and will do what it takes to help them win a fair contract.

Today, @ufcw_3000 held a town hall to talk about access to fresh and affordable groceries. This comes after Kroger announced that four Fred Meyer stores across our region would be shutting down. Grocery workers refuse to accept that these corporate decisions are inevitable.

Starbucks can afford to do right by Seattle baristas. Instead, they’re firing dedicated baristas, stonewalling contract negotiations, and telling workers to file for unemployment. Join us on September 22 at noon to stand with @sbworkersunited.org!

Sky Chefs workers provide food and drinks for flyers on airlines like Alaska but they have fallen behind those doing similar work for companies like Gate Gourmet. These workers are unified and ready to do what it takes to win the contract they deserve. @unitehere.org
