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?

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

For Black Friday, baristas and allies leafletted at malls and shopping centers across the country. We spoke with Starbucks customers about the company's unprecedented amount of unfair labor practices and why baristas need union contracts NOW.

No Contract, No Coffee! 🚫☕️
Honored to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas in their fight for a fair contract with living wages and safe staffing. It’s unconscionable that Starbucks continues to stall negotiations.
Support workers, no Starbucks until contract! ✊🏽

If you've been shopping at your local Starbucks because the strike hadn't reached it yet, SWU is asking everyone to stop shopping there now.
BREAKING: A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history! 2,500 union baristas across 120+ stores in 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike. We're SIXTEEN DAYS in and only getting stronger ✊
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

Don't let the Starbucks ads during the Thanksgiving parade distract from the fact that workers are on strike right now.
Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪
Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

Thank you @Teamsters for walking the walk and backing our national ULP strike. THIS is what solidarity looks like ✊
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING!! 🚨
In a previously unreleased memo, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien throws the FULL WEIGHT of his union behind striking Starbucks workers.
