"WE are the many. THEY are the few."

A powerful scene out of Philly:

Firefighter method just in case corporate doesn’t think we’re serious about this contract getting done.

All these changes don’t improve store operations, decrease wait times, improve staffing, or bring customers back… they just make baristas’ lives harder.

Our union is strong and united. Baristas are fired up and ready to do whatever it takes to secure a fair contract, including striking if necessary!

We're not on strike yet, but we will be if starbucks doesn't start listening to baristas soon! We're ready to do what it takes to win fair pay, consistent hours, and resolve outstanding ULPs in our workplaces!

In these tough times, Michigan’s home care workers remind us what collective power looks like.

32,000 workers fought, won, and reclaimed their union. 💜💪 #UnionStrong #UnionsForAll

In a moment when our democracy feels fragile & our freedoms under attack, 32k home care workers in Michigan are giving us something powerful: hope. These powerful workers fought, won & took back their union. Congrats to the workers w/ MI Home Care Workers United & @seiuhcmi.bsky.social #UnionsForAll

Brian Niccol needs to stop taking Starbucks backward and settle a fair union contract so we can all move forward together.

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!

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 7d

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."

Read about Columbus, Ohio's picket and rally this week: www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

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 · 12d

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 ! ✊🔥
