Today's the big day - its our very first customer and ally-led day of action!
All over the country at hundreds of stores, customers are learning about Starbucks's illegal union-busting campaign - including the company's hundreds of labor violations. #StarbucksSolidarity
Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about Ablaut reduplication.
If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'
tic-tac-toe
If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’

Nothing crazy about the instant-upgrade you can give your art if you’re willing to marinate it in AI soup consisting of millions of images that were painstakingly crafted by hundreds of thousands of your fellow artists and then utilized without our consent. Scab behavior tbh 🤡
Workers at the giant Starbucks’ Roastery store in Seattle walked out today, striking against the lack of credit card tips that they were promised before they voted to unionize.
They've given Starbucks a deadline of Memorial Day to comply and enable credit card tips.
Starbucks brought corporate representatives to listen to Howard Schultz testify. But as soon as WORKERS got up to speak, they all left.
Howard just spent two hours claiming that Starbucks listened to their workers. Actions speak louder than words.
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.

Today at the annual shareholder meeting, Starbucks spent over 30 minutes talking about how they listen to workers. In response, we’re excited to announce that SEVEN stores are filing for union elections and fighting to have a REAL seat at the table. Our movement is GROWING!
We’ve been working hard on our economic demands. We’re fighting for a $20 an hour starting wage nationwide, a 37-hour week guarantee for full-time workers, a 100% employer-covered health-care plan for workers, credit card tipping for all stores and MORE!

Starbucks leaves an empty chair at their Board meetings to represent workers. Thousands of workers across the US are unionizing so we can FILL that empty seat. So, in honor of Starbucks’ annual shareholder meeting today, we thought we’d remind them of how to do just that.
Scoop: Starbucks baristas at 100+ cafes in 40+ cities plan to welcome their new CEO with strikes today, demanding an end to alleged union-busting https://t.co/oiriEPekRd @SBWorkersUnited
Comes a day before shareholder meeting and a week before Howard Schultz’s Senate grilling
Right now in Seattle, hundreds of Starbucks Partners and allies are marching on Starbucks HQ in support of the ~115 stores on strike today, demanding the company bargain with our union in good faith.
