Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

MAGA men are now saying the quiet part out loud: they want to repeal the 19th Amendment and strip women of their right to vote. Todd Beeton examines this ugly trend. Also, Jay Kuo unpacks the real failure underlying Senate Democrats' deal to reopen the government.

So instead of getting up at 4 AM to stand in line to spend $30 on a cup shaped like a teddy bear, let's spend that $30 on a donation to Starbucks Workers United.

A much, much better idea, I think.

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.

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.

Over 14,000 Starbucks workers have unionized since 2021, but they still don’t have a union contract because of Starbucks’ stalling.

That’s why we, @jayapal.house.gov, & over 80 Members of Congress are calling on Starbucks to stop union-busting & reach a contract with @sbworkersunited.org
