Fight for $15

**************************
John,

"Starbucks is trying to silence us, but let it be known, we will not be silenced." Nikki Taylor and 6 other workers at a store in Memphis were fired last week because they were trying to unionize.

We know how greedy corporations get when workers unite to reclaim our power. Starbucks is using the same union-busting playbook we've seen at McDonald's, Amazon, and countless other "progressive" corporations, but they can't stop us.

Collective action is brewing across the country. Starbucks workers in more than 80 stores have filed to unionize in the past few months with one message: every worker deserves justice, equality, and a better life.

Sleazy tactics won't divide our fight for dignity and respect on the job. Take 1 minute to email Starbucks CEO and President Kevin Johnson to demand an end to rampant union busting and reinstate fired workers. [[link removed]]

It's obvious that executives at Starbucks are shook, and they're swarming stores to try to stop workers from organizing. I had to laugh when I heard that the Chief Operating Officer -- who makes almost $7 million a year -- came to a Buffalo Starbucks and referred to himself as a "partner" as if he was working a 12-hour shift pulling espresso shots.

Amazon, REI, Hershey's, McDonald's, and Starbucks are all recent examples of how desperate bosses get when we stand up and demand change. But the joke's on them -- we won't back down, and we're getting our union. Tell Starbucks' CEO: We're done putting up with the union busting -- restore Memphis workers' jobs >> [[link removed]]
