I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

I dunno if it's just the weird algorithm on Facebook, but man I've been seeing a lot of ads on there for Tron: Ares. Jared Leto (mega creep) is a huge deterrent from me ever wanting to see the movie. What will it take for Hollywood to stop hiring him?? www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...
