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

Workers in all industries have more in common with each other than the executives making millions. Solidarity with everyone who is not crossing the line or buying Starbucks while we’re on a ULP strike! Special thanks to @Teamsters, for not crossing the picket line and standing with us✊

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

I'm being told HTC is expected to follow suit, too.

There are a couple of really troubling points in this interview; the most relevant parts are at 12 minutes and 22 minutes. The first is that she tacitly accepts a caller’s premise that Mamdani is sympathetic to Hamas, despite Lehrer noting they have no such evidence and asking her if she does

my wife has sat beside me while I watch Knicks games for ~15 years and taken zero interest— seriously not even fleeting attention— in what’s happening on TV, with one major exception: like 5-10 times over the last few years she’s caught a glimpse of Thibodeau and said “wow he does not look good”

Meanwhile, baristas are still struggling to pay our bills or get shifts properly staffed to keep up with customer demand.
And our CEO still commutes to work from California to Seattle via private jet for some reason.
