Nationwide STRIKE Tomorrow, Thursday, Nov 17
**Please do not post on social media about the strike until tomorrow. Thank you!**
Locations and times of strikes:
All hands on deck! Tomorrow, Thursday, (11/17) 100 Starbucks stores are going on STRIKE for Starbucks’ “Red Cup Day” - the single most profitable day of the year for Starbucks. In case you didn’t know, on Red Cup Day customers flood into stores for their red cups before they run out (Starbucks limits the number each store distributes), making it the busiest and most grueling day of the year for baristas.
Here in Seattle a number of stores will be joining the strike wave and Starbucks workers have asked for our assistance supporting the strikes. Seattle DSA will be standing shoulder to shoulder with them on the picket line.
That’s where YOU come in! Please RSVP today and join a picket line!
If you can’t join a picket line, you can still stand with Starbucks workers by donating to their PNW Starbucks Workers Relief Fund. This fund supports baristas when they go on strike or face retaliation from Starbucks. In 2021 Starbucks made an eye watering $4 billion in profits. They can afford stores being shut down by strikes but workers who are facing rent and utilities, grocery bills, and gas because they can’t afford to live in the city they work, but for workers it's a serious risk and sacrifice. But it's necessary to win a living wage and healthcare from the rapacity of Starbucks.
Stand shoulder to shoulder with Starbucks baristas, please donate $5, $10, or $20 to the PNW Starbucks Worker Relief Fund today. Bryan W Starbucks Workers Solidarity Starbucks Worker Solidarity |
