Starbucks won’t let us recorate stores for pride? Fine, I’ll be my own pride decoration

The day we returned to work after our historic, 6-week long strike, one of our organizers Ali was fired immediately. Please help her recover from this blatant retaliation (as you continue to not patronize starbucks!) https://t.co/oPL5gtxhuW

They really started teaching hustle culture early at my school, why was I writing a resume/apparently pitching a PSA at 11 years old?

[St. Louis Starbucks Workers United @SBWUStLouis]

Merry Christmas from SBWU stl! We hope you and yours continue to spread holiday cheer to your local coffee shops and continue not to purchase starbucks for the duration of our strike!

All we want for christmas? The contract we deserve !!

My dear friend Cody is one of the most firebrand organizers i know in st. louis. She got fired a few weeks ago and her family could use your help. Please show up for her the way she shows up for all of us 💖

It’s Mother/Daughter day on our picket! Baristas don’t let their families buy Starbucks

[Bobby Wagner @bwags]

the chain is not “struggling” — their CEO made $96 million last year.

they’re using megacorporation accounting tricks to make it seem like the business is in trouble in order to strategically fire unionized employees illegally

[St. Louis Starbucks Workers United @SBWUStLouis]

This past monday, our best and brightest, Moe, was fired illegally for something they did not do. Naturally, we had multiple stores walk out bc if you come for one of us you come for all of St. Louis

So disappointed in @JanelleMonae for letting a corporation that has made anti-LGBTQ and anti-Palestinian moves take credit for doing the absolute bare minimum.

[St. Louis Starbucks Workers United @SBWUStLouis]

Today we struck at our Hampton and Wise store to protest the companies new dress code! however one of our best organizers couldn’t be with us as she’s still struggling financially from being fired from this store back in december. please give what you can

[St. Louis Starbucks Workers United @SBWUStLouis]

Starbucks managers: we don’t care if this dress code is illegal!!! were going to discipline you for it!!!! try to stop us!!!!🤬

Us: sorry can’t hear you too busy serving cunt on the picket line

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Guess investing in baristas IS important... if only SOMEONE had ideas that could, say, be put into a union contract......... oh wait

Remember how I keep saying to late-discovered autistic people that self-diagnosis is valid due in part to the subsequent inevitable discrimination of people with “autism spectrum disorder” on their medical chart?

This shit sets a terrifying precedent.

Starbucks Workers United stands in solidarity with Rumeysa Ozturk.

🏳️‍⚧️Happy Trans Day of Visibility from SBWU.

2025 has been a terrifying year for trans people, which is why we need contracts that protects trans healthcare + protections now more than ever.

If Starbucks cares about their LGBTQ+ workers, they'll finalize strong contracts NOW.

just a reminder that ADHD makes boring, repetitive life maintenance hard:

🚿 hygiene (showering, brushing teeth)
🚙 car stuff (oil changes, refueling)
🗑️ house chores (laundry, dishes, trash)
🏥 medical tasks (refilling meds, making appointments)
📬 admin life (emails, bills)

[G. Gamache @The_G_Genie]

speaking of union organizing- one of our best organizers here in st louis was illegally fired this week. she is also the primary caretaker of her wife who is dealing with a new disability. please help show her what solidarity looks like 🙏

My favorite pre-existing condition

[St. Louis Starbucks Workers United @SBWUStLouis]

Solidarity to our siblings in LA as they deal with devistating fires- showing up to serve 0 people coffee shouldn’t be anyone’s priority.

whether it’s fires in LA or the continuing winter storms here in the midwest- why is starbucks failing to put partner safety first?

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Remember: Baristas are calling on YOU to honor our picket lines! Do NOT buy from ANY Starbucks through the 24th!
