BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain.
@SBWorkersUnited has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott.
Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
@MN_Chamber If you can’t say the names of murdered Minnesotans and the agencies who murdered them, you’re not standing up for your neighbors.
MN Starbucks workers are not impressed with Beth Ford, Sbux board member and Land O’ Lakes CEO, who signed this cowardly, mealy-mouthed statement.
Shame on #BethFord and the rest of these cowardly CEO’s — now is not the time to sit on the fence! Stand with Minnesotans and speak plainly for truth and justice
We call on @Starbucks board member and Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford to say the names of our murdered neighbors, to say the names of the agencies who murdered them in broad daylight.
We can’t afford you trying to stay above the fray! Stand with us and say ICE out now!
In the running for "Overreaction of the Year Award," CEO Brian Niccol has barricaded his office to avoid striking baristas getting anywhere near him.
No matter. We'll be waiting right out front when you're ready to talk, Brian!
Starbucks baristas are on strike to demand the company give workers a fair contract. As long as workers are on strike, don't shop at Starbucks.
No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee
"Employees are striking because we want Starbucks to live up to the values it markets to the world. Starbucks claims it offers the “best job in retail.” As someone doing one of those jobs day in and day out, I can tell you that's not true."

Howard Schultz, founder of Starbucks, has a new yacht. Its value is estimated at upwards of $300 million. Meanwhile over 10,000 Starbucks workers are still being denied a union contract.
Where who feels welcome? Shame on cowardly @Starbucks executives. Your job is to keep baristas safe, not tell MAGA trolls it’s OK to bully your employees into participating in this dangerous culture war
Starbucks has informed workers they must use whatever name a customer provides for their drink—even if it’s fake—such as ‘Charlie Kirk’:
“We aim to be a community coffeehouse where everyone feels welcome”
@carolynmichelle@Starbucks Thanks for lifting this up! It’s outrageous. The good news is all the incredible young workers I’ve met who lead the campaign will never let this happen! Btw we miss you on @femfreq :)
If there's going to be a class war in this country, it's time the working class won that war. We can no longer tolerate 3 billionaires owning more wealth than the bottom 50%. We must tax the obscene gains billionaires made in the pandemic and create an economy that works for all.
If you have health insurance, I'm asking you to fight for those who don't.
If you're native-born, I'm asking you to fight for the undocumented.
If you can afford an education, I'm asking you to fight for those who can't.
The only way we defeat Trump is with human solidarity.
