Starbucks workers are kicking off a super ambitious, and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT nation wide strike this Thursday. The success of this highly visible strike, in this political moment, is likely to determine whether other workers have the confidence to organize and strike in their own workplaces.

If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS.

Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
