| View this email in your browser Yesterday, we escalated our unfair labor practice strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We’ll keep escalating, or we’ll bring the picket line to them. They thought the strike stopped at the cafe door, but we’re not waiting. Baristas and allies blockaded the plant so Starbucks executives could get an up-close look at what worker power actually looks like. Wherever they are, we’ll be there too until we win a fair contract and an end to union-busting. |
Today, union stores in more than 25 cities joined our open-ended ULP strike. That brings us to 95 stores holding the line over the past week. We’re not slowing down. And we need you with us! Baristas took it to the East Coast distribution center yesterday, and more stores joined our strike today. Here’s how you keep the pressure on: Don’t buy Starbucks! Tell your friends, your group chat, the neighbors who still think PSLs are “special,” everyone. Share the No Contract No Coffee pledge with five people and help people find a picket line. Donate to the strike fund so workers can do what it takes for as long as it takes. No contract, no coffee is more than a tagline—it’s a pledge to make sure Starbucks hears from the public that its conduct is wholly unacceptable until a fair union contract and an end to unfair labor practices are won. Every store that joins this strike makes it harder for the company to ignore workers or dodge accountability for hundreds of legal issues. And every action, every pledge, every donation from supporters like you helps baristas stay in this fight.We’re holding the line. With you in the fight, we win.
