I just met with Starbucks and cannabis workers in New Jersey. They organized, they voted and they won their unions! Working people are united: We fight together. And we win together.
AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler meets with workers in a conference room.

John,

 

I sat down with Starbucks and cannabis workers in New Jersey this morning. I listened to their stories and what keeps them up at night. They told me about their organizing and how they won their unions.

 

I’m in awe of all the working people taking on corporations and winning.

 

These are corporations that can spend millions of dollars on intimidating workers. Corporations many said would never have unions. Corporations like Starbucks, REI and Amazon.

 

But workers came together to fight for a better workplace and fair treatment—and won.

 

And their victories will change the world. By inspiring us and building a wave of organizing across the country. By teaching us and sharing what worked for them.

 

Together, we can build a strong labor movement that’s for all workers and led by workers.

 

I can’t wait.

 

Add your name if you’re “Union Yes,” too!

 

In Solidarity,

Liz Shuler

President, AFL-CIO
