12,000+ workers fighting for fair union contracts and a better Starbucks ✊ Organize your store, get updates from our campaign, and sign our No Contract No Coffee pledge at bit.ly/m/SBWU
Baristas in Rhode Island marched on their boss during peak. After participating in this work stoppage, management began making changes! That’s why organizing your own union is one of the best ways to not only protect you and your coworkers, but win a better workplace ✊
All this while Starbucks pays big money to convince us we don't need unions btw
During recent ICE raids in Minnesota, baristas say Starbucks offered no protections against ICE agents in their stores, even when other businesses in the area did. That's when workers fought back as a union.
ANDDDD ANOTHER ONE!!! Starbucks workers in Los Alamitos, CA just won their union election 19-5! Welcome to your union, everyone! ✊
We’re not just tired of low pay, inadequate protections, and chaotic scheduling… we’re organizing unions to say enough is enough! CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks baristas in Columbia, MD - they just won their union election 19 to 3! ✊
Starbucks' latest response to the new silica-based blending powder: They dodged the issue entirely.
Workers in the South are fighting back against corporate greed and WINNING. CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks baristas in Navarre, FL who just won their union!! ✊ They join workers in Kentucky and Arkansas who also recently won union elections in the South!
🚨Have you felt sick after handling Starbucks’ silica-based blending powder? If you're a barista, reach out to us. If you're a Starbucks customer, we urge you to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS until the company finalizes union contracts with the protections and improvements we need.
Solidarity with ILWU members on strike in California! We call on C&H Sugar - one of the largest sugar distributors in the country - to do right by their workers. Return to the bargaining table and finalize a fair contract now!
Corporations don't protect us. WE protect us. Congratulations to Starbucks workers who are organizing against corporate greed and winning unions in their stores! Say hello to our newest union members in ✊Westland, MI ✊Bowling Green, KY
🚨Here’s what baristas are saying about Starbucks’s blending powder. Workers are calling on all customers to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS until baristas get protections and better in-store conditions finalized in fair union contracts.
A union contract with material improvements, or a chance to earn pennies by making corporate propaganda? Starbucks is hoping you choose the latter
Starbucks has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the US. It’s not normal! Let’s take on corporate greed and win a better workplace. DON’T BUY STARBUCKS at any location until union contracts are finalized!
Every endorsement of Starbucks is an endorsement for union-busting, labor law violations, and corporate greed. 👎
🚨Our union is hearing concerns from baristas about an ingredient in the new Starbucks Blended Refreshers. The blending powder is silica-based and becomes airborne easily. Breathing in silica powder can be dangerous. Starbucks needs to address this if partners are starting to feel side-effects.
🎉MORE UNION WINS🎉 Baristas have won 700+ union elections, and we're not stopping until Starbucks does right by US, their workers! CONGRATS to baristas who recently won union elections in - Brookline, MA - Edina, MN - Falls Church, VA - Greensboro, NC - Roswell, GA - Pittsburgh, PA - Providence, RI
After going on strike in San Antonio, union Starbucks workers saw their store's issues addressed. Interesting how that happens once collective action enters the picture... 🤔
We take for granted how much was won by working people of all backgrounds coming together and fighting back… but the work isn’t over. Together, we’ll organize and win the futures we deserve!
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.
Baristas know how to make our stores better. It's not raised menu prices, complicated drinks, or egregious spending on advertisements. Starbucks needs to simply stop union-busting and listen to their workers!
The joy of announcing you've organized a union... there's nothing like it 🥲
How much food do you think Starbucks wastes? A union Starbucks barista explains how workers are held to an unrealistic standard while corporate wastes more than they let on...
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:
It's time for Starbucks to do better for their LGBTQ+ baristas. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ It would take Starbucks less than one day's sales to give workers stronger protections against discrimination, as well as better pay + scheduling. End the union-busting, 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!
