| View this email in your browser November 25, 2025 The Holiday is almost here, which means it is the perfect moment to turn up your ally game. This is your shot to spread the word to Stop Buying Starbucks, break down what baristas are fighting for, and bring more people into the Red Cup Rebellion. We put together a short holiday guide with quick talking points, easy metaphors, and straightforward ways to explain why solidarity is so important right now! Here is a quick taste of what is inside: The one sentence version: Baristas are striking because Starbucks refuses to stop union-busting and settle a fair union contract—while CEO Brian Niccol pockets tens of millions—and the best way to help workers this holiday is simple: don’t buy Starbucks until they end union-busting and treat baristas with dignity. What is actually happening: Baristas launched the Red Cup Rebellion because Starbucks keeps refusing to offer serious proposals on wages, hours, staffing, and the resolution of hundreds of unfair labor practices. The NLRB and its judges have found more than 400 labor law violations, making Starbucks the biggest labor law violator in modern history. Why it matters: Baristas are the heart of Starbucks, but most are not getting enough hours to qualify for benefits, and many can’t even afford groceries. Workers want Starbucks to succeed, and we want these jobs to be the best in retail. But Starbucks can’t fix what is broken until it supports the workers who keep the stores running and bring people back day after day. The full guide also includes quick answers to questions people might bring up at the table, like: Why are they striking? Isn’t Starbucks already a good job? Doesn’t striking hurt customers?Get ready to bring the side dishes and the receipts! |
