Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores are making their voices heard: they’re tired of corporate greed, union-busting and stalling.
It was so empowering to join them on the picket line. Keep standing strong together in solidarity — when we fight, we win!

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's strategy involves "command-and-control management," neglecting the workers that gave Starbucks its positive reputation in the first place.

The CEO of Starbucks is making a very big mistake—and it’s destroying what made the company great

For 4 years, Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas have fought for a first contract, while their CEO makes 6,666x what they do. Enough is enough.
It’s time for Starbucks to stop playing games and give workers the fair contract they deserve.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.
It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

On Black Friday, Starbucks workers expanded their ULP strike to 85+ cities.
Now, just 6 days later, the strike is growing AGAIN.
