🚨STARBUCKS WORKERS JUST WON THEIR 700TH UNION ELECTION!!
A huge congratulations to baristas around the country who are taking on corporate greed and fighting for a better workplace.
We make change when we take action! ✊🔥
Starbucks workers are fighting for a living wage. Last year, Starbucks’ CEO made more than $30 million while many baristas relied on SNAP and Medicaid to make ends meet.
@SBWorkersUnited is working to change that and has already won elections at nearly 700 locations. I spoke with Jasmine Leli, a Starbucks barista and one of the leaders in this new labor movement, about the victories they’ve had so far and the work ahead.

Starbucks baristas striking all over the country. REI workers organizing. Teachers walking out for better pay.
This is what a movement looks like.
The labor movement built the middle class. It created the weekend, the 8-hour workday, and overtime pay. And it is the only force powerful enough to push back against concentrated corporate power.
I stand with every single worker fighting for dignity and I will keep fighting in Congress for union rights and for an economy that works for everyone — not just the people at the top.
A new @EconomicPolicy report found that US companies are spending more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting consultants and lawyers. They’ll spend unlimited money crushing workers’ voices and then claim there’s no money for better conditions.

Shame on Starbucks for their recent promo in South Korea evoking the violent military repression of pro-democracy protestors.
We stand in solidarity with pro-democracy movements globally. The fight for a union is a fight for democracy!
Starbucks @SBWorkersUnited baristas are organizing, mobilizing and fighting for a fair contract in the face of unprecedented corporate greed. Along with all of America’s unions, they now have the solidarity and strength of 700 union stores standing with them. Change is brewing ✊

So bosses in America spend $1.5 BILLION every year on - *checks notes* - “labor union avoidance.”
Instead of ridiculously expensive union-busting consultants and lawyers, wouldn’t it be better to invest that money in the workers who create profit?

While over 12,000 union Starbucks workers fight for a fair union contract, we're still calling on all allies to NOT BUY STARBUCKS at any location.
