It’s clear things are going Backwards at Starbucks under Brian Niccol's leadership. But this has only motivated us more to keep organizing and doing whatever it takes—including striking if necessary—to win a fair union contract!

Customers, allies, and major orgs across the country pledge to NOT cross a picket line if our union goes on strike. Starbucks - do the right thing for your baristas and come back to the bargaining table so we can finalize our contracts! (TY to Diane Cantave from LI Jobs With Justice!)

Workers in Richmond, VA are done waiting around for Starbucks to come back to the bargaining table! We’ve elected hundreds of Strike Captains across hundreds of states and we’re not afraid to use them! It’s your move, Starbucks.

We're ready for Starbucks to come back to the table and finish finalizing our union contracts. A single day's sales would settle contracts with 12,000 workers! Starbucks calls us "partners" - it's time they start treating us as such, or else we'll be leading our stores on strike!

Let’s Go New Orleans! Workers and allies are demanding that Starbucks return to the bargaining table to finalize a contract with the protections workers need to their jobs well! And they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get them there!

Starbucks workers live paycheck-to-paycheck while our CEO has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the country. Better working conditions mean happier workers and happier customers. Our allies are here for us! We're just practicing for now, but if we have to, we're ready to strike!

We're stronger together, each action we take makes a difference. Our union is showing Starbucks that partners aren't afraid to stand up and demand they set their priorities straight! Starbucks could finalize the remainder of our union contracts with just one day's worth of sales!

The PDX community is pissed off and demanding Starbucks reinstate workers who were wrongfully fired without warning. We love our union community, together we’ll continue to hold Starbucks accountable until we get contracts that secure stronger protections and processes to dispute unjust discipline!

"We don't want to go on strike. We don't want to have to take these actions. But if it is necessary to get that contract, we are willing to do whatever we need to."

A group of people holding signs that say "NO CONTRACT NO COFFEE" and "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT" listen to a speaker wearing Workers United clothes under a Starbucks sign.

“Investors should know that if Starbucks continues to stonewall and fight with union baristas, they aren’t afraid to do what it takes to win the fair contract that they’ve earned,” Fox writes. “This includes going on strike if they must.”

One day’s sales….that’s all it would take.

Starbucks should do the right thing and support their hard working employees.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 7d

Starbucks workers shouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck when CEO Brian Niccol has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the country. It would take only A SINGLE DAY’S sales to finalize fair union contracts. JUST ONE DAY.

Thank you for rallying with us today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ! ✊🔥

Across the country, union Starbucks workers are electing strike captains to lead their stores to the picket line.

We don't want to strike... but if Starbucks leaves us no choice, our strike captains are training for what's to come. ✊

We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.
