Starbucks just fired over 10 union leaders in Buffalo, NY. Let’s show them we’ve got their backs.
Starbucks has just fired over 10 union leaders in Buffalo, NY.
In response, workers hosted a city-wide informational picket yesterday at every store to remind Starbucks executives that Buffalo is a UNION town and that corporate retaliation is unacceptable.1

100% of your gift goes directly to helping workers fight to improve their workplaces, or to cover the personal costs of organizing — including unpaid time off, resources for lost jobs or reduced hours, and more.
The CoWorker Solidarity Fund has set a goal of raising $50,000, which is game-changing money for a worker-led movement that’s going up against the largest coffee chain in the world.
While Starbucks has billions to spend on union-busting, we have each other. As Alexandria said: “It’s the solidarity of our actions that are going to get us through. It is sticking together.”
So if you can spare $5, $10, or $15, it would go a long way in supporting workers who are organizing on behalf of all of us – because when our unions are strong, we are strong.
Thank you for showing up today for your fellow workers.
