John,
When we’re understaffed at Starbucks, and I’m backed up on my orders, the last thing I’m thinking about is writing a little personalized note on every coffee cup. But corporate? They’ll threaten my job if I don’t.
This fight is about making Starbucks jobs the best jobs in retail. But right now, it’s only the best job in retail for CEO Brian Niccol.
Instead of taking responsibility for unfair labor practices, they’re continuing to stall — while pouring money into executive pay and bonuses and leaving baristas with unstable hours, low wages, and constant uncertainty. This fight has made one thing clear: Starbucks can afford to fix what’s broken — they just don’t want to.
We’ll be on strike until Starbucks reaches a fair contract and the union-busting ends! We’re still asking allies to stop buying Starbucks, but it’s time to ramp up the heat. Join us — alongside some surprise special guests — for a mass mobilization call to hear what’s next.
