Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

What a terrible, irresponsible headline. The answer is infection is *far* more of risk than vaccination.

If your company underpays you, overworks you, doesn't give you time off, you should consider joining the strike. GENERAL STRIKE!!
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

republicans will not only try to rig the next election, not swear in dissenting representatives, they will also attempt to take over the democratic party with bootlickers like fetterman. There is an assault on democracy

Yes measles is highly infectious

Yes, if you survive you are immune to measles

AND

It will have wiped out ALL your protection from ALL the other diseases remembered by your immune system

You are totally exposed
