Welcome to Solidarity Saturday! Your weekly highlight reel and your shortcut to staying plugged.
So much happened this week, you might’ve blinked and missed a moment or two. Our national ULP strike is growing, and the momentum is undeniable. We’ve got you covered.
ICYMI: Union stores in more than 25 cities joined our open-ended ULP strike. That brings us to 95 stores on strike in over 65 cities across the country. And allies stepped up too! More than 150 flyering actions at non-union stores helped spread the truth about Starbucks’ union-busting and build support and solidarity with baristas.
Here’s the week’s brew:
Philly didn’t come to play. Customers brought big energy to the picket line, backing workers fighting for better pay, better hours, and an end to union busting.
Waffle House workers didn’t hold back. Their solidarity made it clear that from Waffle House to Starbucks, service workers deserve respect, a living wage, and a union.
Solidarity doesn’t stop at the cafe door. Baristas brought their ULP strike to Starbucks’ largest regional distribution plant.
NYC understood the assignment. Zohran Mamdani’s Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined baristas on the picket line, standing up for a city where workers earn a living wage and dignity.
We’re not slowing down. Union baristas are pushing the movement forward. Workers are fighting for a real contract that raises pay, increases hours, fixes chronic understaffing, and for an end to Starbucks’ union-busting. Until Starbucks brings proposals that actually meet the workers’ needs and remedies the hundreds of outstanding unfair labor practices, you’ll find us on the picket line.
We need you to have their back! The most powerful thing you can do today is to Don’t Buy Starbucks and make sure everyone in your world knows why. Post it, say it, text it, shout it, drop it in the group chat. Every conversation turns the pressure up.
Starbucks knows what’s needed, and the rebellion isn’t letting up. Thanks for showing up.
In solidarity,
