hey starbucks. maybe instead of learning the hard way that automation and AI is a waste of time and money... you finalize contracts with us that address understaffing and other issues that actually affect our stores?

idk just a thought since ur plans don't seem to be working

We've won ANOTHER major union victory!

Starbucks is implementing one of our core demands: the ability for workers to pause mobile orders. Just like card tipping & expanded parental leave, this wouldn't have happened without our organizing, action, and progress at the bargaining table🔥

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her.

She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

In 24 hours we've gotten executive orders attempting to ban gender affirming care, ban recognition of trans youth in schools, ban trans employees in the federal government. It's a full on societal purge of trans people.

They meant it when they said they wanted to eradicate us.

FOLKS: The Senate is voting on the Laken Riley Act today. Make no mistake, it's a racial profiling bill.

DEMAND YOUR SENATORS VOTE NO.

Can we get 1,000 fast reposts and replies using the hashtag #NoRacialProfilingLaws to get it trending on Bluesky?

Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol makes ~$50,000 an HOUR and commutes to work via private jet ☠️

All while baristas nationwide are struggling to pay their rent and get the hours they need to qualify for benefits.

We're on ULP strike. It's time for Starbucks to invest in the workers!

Starbucks offered 1% raises to workers, then upped it to 1.5%. No doubt that new CEO Brian Nichols was calling their bluff.

Now he can use that private plane Starbucks gave him to visit picket lines across the country.
BREAKING: Starbucks Workers United is going on strike.

Tomorrow unionized Starbucks workers are walking out in multiple key cities. And @sbworkersunited.org's rolling strike will grow in the coming days.

537 stores and 10,000+ workers are in the union and could potentially strike.

Good morning! ☀️
(‘cept you, Tulsi.)

Listen, we’re seeing what happens when the masses rise up against dick-tators.
Including in this country (👋🏽 Gaetz & Hegseth).
Keep calling/writing.

And for crissakes, vote in the 2026 midterms to flip the GOPs razor thin majority!

Workers around the country are being urged to see if their boss owes them back pay using the Department of Labor's new Workers Owed Wages (WOW) tool.

The department has set up this database of workers who have money waiting to be claimed: webapps.dol.gov/wow/.

If you think you may be owed back wages collected by the Labor Department, search our database to confirm.
