Welcome to Solidarity Saturday, your weekly highlight reel and your shortcut to staying plugged in.
Our mood this week: Starbucks won’t work without us. We’re the ones making the drinks, running the floor, and keeping the lines moving. That’s why we’re demanding a union contract that locks in the hours, pay, and protections we need to actually do our jobs well.
NLRB administrative judges found that Starbucks committed more than 400 labor law violations. Hundreds more unfair labor practices for union busting are unresolved, giving the company one of the worst anti-union rap sheet in modern history.
If you’ve already deleted the app, thank you. Now help spread the word by forwarding this email, posting about it, and making sure at least one more person deletes the Starbucks app. Collective action is what makes corporations listen.
Hey Starbucks… Try running a billion-dollar coffee chain without baristas. We’ll wait.
Meanwhile, here’s the week’s brew:
After taking action, baristas at Destiny USA Mall won their union election despite Starbucks trying hard to stop workers from organizing.
Companies like Starbucks are scared of workers unionizing because when we take action together, we win material change instead of empty promises. While Starbucks looks out for executives, our union is led by Starbucks workers looking out for each other.
Starbucks partners: Let’s talk about what organizing a union in your store can do to protect you and your coworkers 
Starbucks workers are continuing to organize their stores, win union elections, and fight back against corporate greed.
Congratulations to partners joining us this month in Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, and Ohio. Our union is stronger with you in it! 
ICYMI: 100 Days on Strike at Disneyland
Baristas at the Disneyland Resort hit 100 days on ULP strike last week, and since Starbucks is clearly in its villain era, workers rallied at the front gate to make sure everyone knew it.
Going on strike this long isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. It would take less than just one day of sales for Starbucks to finalize a multi-year contract with better pay, reliable hours, and real protections. Just one day.
We’re not letting up. More than 250,000 people have already committed to not buy Starbucks until the company heeds our demands. Hundreds of local, state, and federal elected officials have called on Starbucks executives to finalize a fair contract and stop union busting.
Starbucks only moves when the pressure builds. Let’s keep building it.
In solidarity,
