NEW: Starbucks workers pulled off a surprise strike this morning, with union members walking off the job at select stores nationwide.
The action comes a day before the #RedCupRebellion strike tomorrow.
@SBWorkersUnited says it will be their biggest strike yet.
Community Call to Action ‼️ Join us in calling Starbucks District Manager Ryan Wolfe (503-413-9333), who has allowed baristas to experience verbal abuse from their manager. We are demanding the removal of Nickole Pierce from Oregon Trail Starbucks. Workers deserve better.

The Triangle shirtwaist factory fire was a tragic moment in history where 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women, lost their lives because of boss' greed. We commemorate these workers' lives and the struggle they ignited as a key part of our union's history.
@WorkersUnited
Starbucks workers marched to Pioneer Square this afternoon to demand the company bargain in good faith during union contact negotiations. This location unionized earlier this month, and another in Hillsboro unanimously voted for the union earlier this week.
ICYMI: Hundreds took to the street in front of @Starbucks HQ showing that no matter what #Starbucks does to try to silence us, we will continue fighting. Big up to @SBWorkersUnited who are demanding their union! #StarbucksShareholders
