@DesyreeSims Congrats and the struggle to make the elections happen is important not only for your members but the union movment which has been closely following the ALU.
Much solidarity and congratulations! As you know, now come the hard part. Despite the internal sabotage that proceeded this elections, you are tasked with winning over the broad number of workers to seeing the ALU as THEIR union with an honest and miltant and democratic leadership
Right on to the 400+ SBWU locals. You've held together till you forced Starbucks to the bargaining table. You defeated a union busting corporation that uncorrectoy thought they could beat you. How wrong they were!
Workers are BACK at the bargaining table again this week, setting the foundation for over 460 Starbucks stores' union contracts!! ๐ฅ
