Good news, everyone! It's Friday! Before you push to prod and log off for turkey, remember that Starbucks Workers United is still on strike against Starbucks for unfair labor practices.

The union's demands are straightforward:

  1. More hours to improve staffing levels
  2. Higher take-home pay
  3. Stop union-busting

As you travel, visit family (blood and chosen), shop on Black Friday, and prepare for the depths of winter, don't cross the picket line.

No contract? No coffee!

Hey folks, please take a minute to sign the “No Contract, No Coffee! Pledge” to show Solidarity With Starbucks Workers United.
Support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line by not patronizing any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike. Even you don’t patronize Starbucks for whatever reason, add your name to the pledge to show our siblings at SBWU that you have their backs.

This image is a modified version of the Starbucks logo. Instead of the iconic mermaid, there is a black silhouette of a raised fist holding a Starbucks-style beverage cup. Surrounding the central image, the green circular border contains the words “STARBUCKS WORKERS UNITED” in white, with white stars separating the words. The design represents labor solidarity among Starbucks employees.
