Skagit Barista Solidarity

Former Starbucks partner of 2+ years. I made this account to share my experiences, knowledge, and encouragement for unionizers.

Please read this thread. This is the kind of merciless strategy used by corporations across the nation. Starbucks is particularly insidious, because they do all this while guilt-tripping you and weaponizing their reputation. #UnionStrong

@DFBHarvard LOL No.

[Skagit Barista Solidarity @AnonymousBaris2]

Oh there’s definitely a pattern. And it’s foul.

[Birdie Gregson @BirdieGregson]

@noevilfoods fired their production team without warning/severance after they tried unionizing

@Starbucks is closing down multiple stores after workers tried unionizing

@AmysKitchen is closing down their San Jose location after workers there tried unionizing

See a pattern?

[Billie @venusdeathtrapp]

So let me get this straight: Starbucks is closing EIGHT stores in the PNW, citing “crime” as the reasoning. When in actuality, they’re union-busting by shutting down POC and queer-centric locations that are pro-union? I hope Howard likes subpoenas! #NoContractNoCoffee

@meghin_sb Hell yes, Meghin.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Starting today, after months of investigating, the Labor Board is prosecuting @Starbucks for over 200 violations of labor law in Western NY ALONE.

[Bella Griep @BellaGriep]

I just want to point out to stores who haven’t thought about unionizing yet, enjoy the benefits coming to you. It wasn’t @HowardSchultz who brought them to you it was the partners who fought to unionize their stores. Always remember that.

OH WOW

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Planned Parenthood workers in Massachusetts just won their union election in a landslide. 98% voted to unionize.

Nearly 200 workers with @PPLMUnited are now members of @1199SEIU.

@MorePerfectUS HELL YEEEEESSS

Which location?!

[Jordan Zakarin @jordanzakarin]

If you worked at Starbucks and were fired as retaliation for unionizing, please reply to this tweet or DM me!

(I know a lot of you but there's so many now that I need a head count!)

[Skagit Barista Solidarity @AnonymousBaris2]

@alana_anton I had no idea until I read about it five minutes ago.

[Skagit Barista Solidarity @AnonymousBaris2]

So apparently Planned Parenthood is union busting as well??

An organization specifically designed to help people and save lives doesn’t care about the people who provide these services.

Goddamn.

@VentiSolidarity I absolutely LOVE that graphic design.

[best bean @sbuxstruggless]

I love Starbucks using abortion as a ploy to sabotage unions :/

[Skagit Barista Solidarity @AnonymousBaris2]

Bodily autonomy is also a working-class issue.

[Brian @UnionBrian]

Vik from the recently unionized East Robison store was fired today. Please support her GoFundMe. Starbucks isn’t getting away with this and we need to show more than ever solidarity with her https://t.co/hMSdRrMHCz

[Brian @UnionBrian]

Even with the NLRB announcing today the filing of the 10j in federal court @aCorns__ still has a ways to go until she’s reinstated. Please if you can help support her, she’s done so much for our movement and we’re not going to leave anyone behind. https://t.co/gqoshSnwt8

(5/5) This thread is just meant to illuminate another piece of bullcrap that happens at a supposedly people-centered, compassionate, progressive company. Be careful around Store #367 in Mount Vernon, Skagit Valley.

[Skagit Barista Solidarity @AnonymousBaris2]

🧵 Just found out that one of my coworkers from Store #367 was fired back in May over some absolute bullshit. GET THIS:

(4/5) For the record, she works happily at Costco full-time now. She’s doing alright right now, or so I hear.
