Making today's strike our biggest ULP strike ever! (Starbucks)


https://mailchi.mp/d5639fc5acbc/is-starbucks-chocolate-a-dirty-trick-or-a-clean-treat-14203513

This morning, Starbucks Workers United baristas are on ULP strike at over THREE HUNDRED STORES across the country – making today’s strike our biggest ULP strike ever!


I don’t know about you, but I’ve been incredibly inspired by the baristas’ dedication this week. Through rain, snow, and freezing temperatures, baristas and supporters have walked the picket line and shut down Starbucks locations across more than a dozen cities, fueled by their dedication for a fair contract.


Today is the last day of our five days of escalating strikes, and we’re ready to close it out with a bang. Here’s where you can find Starbucks baristas on the picket line today:

If you’re able to join your local picket line, workers would love supplies like hand-warmers, food, water, hot beverages, and energetic vibes! Don’t forget to bring your own picket sign, and remember: honor the picket line!


Today might be the last day of our strike, but our fight is far from over. We plan to keep fighting until Starbucks resolves its unfair labor practices and gives us a serious economic offer – and we won’t be able to win without your help. Stay tuned in the new year for what is next to come!


Solidarity forever,

Lilly
