BREAKING: Starbucks workers in Seattle are participating in a practice picket outside of the Starbucks Roastery, the company's flagship store.

Starbucks is still failing to finalize fair union contracts. Baristas don't want to strike... but if they have to, they're ready. ✊🔥

[Bill Whitmire @whitphoenix]

@SBWorkersUnited Let's go!!

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

We NEED Starbucks to do better. We're asking you to sign our No Contract, No Coffee pledge to tell the company that their corporate policies are bad for business. Our union stands with workers around the world & will continue to stand with and show up for the people of Palestine!

NEW: A lawsuit alleges Starbucks sources coffee from farms using slavery-like conditions in Brazil. The lawsuit cites 8 victims who say they were trafficked and forced to work at farms that provide so-called “ethically sourced” coffee beans for Starbucks.

A bit of good news about our union sister -- let's keep pushing until she's free! @SEIU509 #FreeRumeysa https://t.co/P0RPZ1B2Mf

Rumeysa Ozturk is a grad student, visa holder, and @SEIU member. She was arrested by masked ICE agents because of an op-ed she wrote. We stand with @SEIU in demanding due process and rejecting this abuse of power.

[Bill Whitmire @whitphoenix]

@SBWorkersUnited Heck yeah! Super charged up that this tactic is being discussed. Ready!

I worked an 8 hrs shift today on register and made $168, before taxes. I rung up $3500+ in sales in those 8 hrs in my little cafe with no seating in south Brooklyn.

I will remember this during bargaining tomorrow.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

Today’s @NLRB decision is a huge win for workers. Captive audience meetings have no place in a fair workplace.

This ruling restores the freedom workers deserve to make their own choices about union representation without fear or intimidation.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

US law is clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian aid can receive US weapons.

Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law.

[Christian Smalls @Shut_downAmazon]

The Dems literally took donations and gave Beyonce a Billionaire $55,000 a second‼️and to make it worse all those Union people behind her clapping and cheering. Oprah a millie too smh… clearly not for the working class.
