On Memorial Day, we honor the brave people who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. The fundamental rights we cherish—including the freedom to organize, speak freely, and assemble for fair wages—are built on the sacrifices of generations of service members.
It was an honor to join the @WorkersUnited convention and celebrate the strength of this union family. From Starbucks stores to health care to manufacturing, you’re proving every day what’s possible when workers organize and lead.
We heard you!
As a special treat, here is the full performance of "An Appalachian Christmas" performed by the Pride of West Virginia at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! 🤗
The band recently performed this at the Keynotes concert on Dec. 11.
BREAKING: SEIU members from across the US, Canada & Puerto Rico are launching a 10 yr plan to win worker power. It means standing in solidarity to grow our multi-racial, multi-generational union by 1M members by 2034! #ThisUnion won't rest until every worker has a union!
We talked to Shawn Fain about the rich opposing unions: "They're right, it is gonna disturb their way of life. And when I say their I mean the billionaire class and the corporate class ... Three, 3 families have as much wealth as half of Americans. That is criminal."
This is tomorrow (Wednesday April 17th, forgive the original typo!)
Don’t forget to post your selfies/messages of support for workers going into bargaining - and wear an SBWU button if you’ve got one! #ButtonUp4Bargaining

Last month, SBWU and Starbucks announced that we were in discussions to develop a foundational framework for organizing and bargaining.
We're happy to announce workers in affected stores that have previously been withheld benefits will finally have access to them! 🎉✊
With the news of our giant step forward, there's never been a better time.
If you're a Starbucks partner who was waiting to reach out, let's chat! 🫶

Shawn Fain, President of the @UAW, went on CBS.
He said that billionaires should not exist, their wealth hoarding is inhumane, and that they're engaged in class warfare on the working class.
