WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Philly is turning OUT today! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🔥
Starbucks hasn't given us a proposal in almost a YEAR. They know we need fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting.
Starbucks can’t ignore us any longer. And this is just the beginning! #NoContractNoCoffee

We had the idea to celebrate the project of our contract ending with fireworks, a lot like the confetti that plays when your own Kickstarter project finishes funding kickstarterunited.org

The @nytguildtech.bsky.social have been steadfast allies of ours throughout this whole thing and instrumental to showing us how to strike!
One year ago we took a step into the unknown as a unit. We walked out on a ULP strike, fighting for just cause, fair wages, and remote worker protections. A supermajority of our unit participated in this historic action, and it worked - we won our first contract.
