Support Starbucks Baristas! No Contract? No coffee.

 
Fresh off the largest-ever strike in Starbucks’ history, SBWU baristas are united. We’re calling Starbucks out for failing to support the baristas who are central to the company’s turnaround. Starbucks backtracked on the path forward, and offered no raises or benefits increases specifically for union baristas in the first year of the contract. They knew that an offer that low wouldn’t lead to ratified contracts. They failed to meet their own deadline for a foundational framework by the end of 2024.
 
Tell the company that not presenting a viable economic offer is bad for business – sign and publicly share SBWU’s No Contract, No Coffee pledge!
