Until Starbucks finalizes fair union contracts, addresses hundreds of unresolved unfair labor practices, & ends union-busting, we’ll continue to escalate our ULP strike.

On Black Friday, Starbucks workers expanded their ULP strike to 85+ cities.

Now, just 6 days later, the strike is growing AGAIN.

Hundreds of baristas are joining the Red Cup Rebellion today, alongside thousands already striking in 105+ cities!

This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them.

It's also why unions are vital — and why we need to support @sbworkersunited.org's fight against corporate greed.

Solidarity.
NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers.

This is the power of labor laws.

"The department found most Starbucks employees never got regular schedules and the company routinely reduced employees' hours by 15% or more, making it difficult for them to count on their income."
BREAKING: According to a recent investigation by NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Starbucks illegally violated workers' protection laws in NYC 500,000 times since 2021. Over $35.5 million will be paid in restitution to Starbucks workers!

ICYMI, workers are striking for a fair contract while executives are more interested in getting celebs to shill on national broadcasts.

We’re done calling it Red Cup Season — this is the Red Cup Rebellion.

Baristas are on an open-ended ULP strike because Starbucks refuses to bargain in good faith or fix its mountain of labor violations.

No Contract. No Coffee. Period.

It has never been that people aren’t working hard enough; it has always been that people aren’t being paid enough for their work.
One job should be enough for every single person in this country. Not three jobs, not back-breaking hours, not hustling just to fall behind again.
One job.

WHAT STARBUCKS WILL PAY FOR:

✅A swanky office with all the fixings so CEO Brian Niccol can chill near his home in Newport Beach
❌Investing in workers with fair pay, hours, & protections in a union contract that would cost LESS THAN 1 DAY OF SALES

In the running for "Overreaction of the Year Award," CEO Brian Niccol has barricaded his office to avoid striking baristas getting anywhere near him.

$96,000,000 for 120 days of work. $15/hour for baristas who can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s greed, not “the best job in retail.”
