The voice of working people in Connecticut's unions. Fighting for an inclusive economy that lifts wages and creates a better life for all.
On #VeteransDay, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the service and sacrifices made by all of our veterans. And we are proud to announce a new initiative to honor them in Connecticut.
Today, we are excited to unveil the launch of the Union Veterans Council of CT!

No Contract? No Coffee!
Baristas at the Corbin's Corner Starbucks and their community allies held a practice picket to demand management finally settle a fair contract!
While baristas are struggling to make ends meet, the CEO of Starbucks made $96 million last year.

Three years. That's how long it's been since the baristas at the Corbin's Corner Starbucks won their union.
But they are all still fighting for a contract! Join them on Saturday for a practice picket and let them know we have their backs!

BREAKING: UAW members at Cummins in Bloomfield are on STRIKE!
Instead of negotiating a fair contract, management has interfered with the federal labor rights of its employees by committing multiple unfair labor practice violations during the course of negotiations.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
