How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

New placards are coming to King County food businesses to warn about labor violations
You know those placards that show a restaurant’s food safety rating? Soon there will be another sign next to it that says whether that business has unresolved wage violations.

Back at it with another #D8Day! Today, we were in Burien and White Center!
We kicked the D8 Day off a little early last night at WestSide Baby, helping sort donations for their amazing free distribution of essential items like diapers, clothing, and equipment to keep kiddos safe, warm, and dry.
