Boycott Starbucks!

More than 700 Starbucks stores have voted to unionize. Thousands of baristas have organized, marched, rallied, and sat across the bargaining table demanding a fair contract.

And Starbucks still won’t settle a fair contract.

That’s why union baristas are calling on customers and allies to join a nationwide boycott. Stand with baristas: Sign the boycott pledge.

For years, Starbucks has stalled, delayed, and stood in the way of workers winning the fair contract we’ve earned. Meanwhile, baristas are still struggling with low pay, understaffing, unpredictable hours, and working conditions that make it harder and harder to do our jobs.

Across the country, workers keep organizing anyway.

We’ve won union elections from California to Texas, Alabama to South Carolina, Georgia to Tennessee. More than 700 stores have voted to unionize because workers know they deserve better, including:

  • 3 workers on the floor—always
  • Minimum $17/hr wages
  • Enough hours to live on
  • A fair attendance policy
  • Non-discrimination & just cause protections
  • Health & safety protections
  • No more union busting

Starbucks knows what we’re asking for. The question is whether they’ll finally listen.

That’s where customers come in.

Every coffee not purchased sends a message. Every conversation with a friend builds pressure. Every person who joins this boycott helps show Starbucks that customers are paying attention and demanding better for baristas.

Commit to boycott Starbucks until baristas win a fair contract.
Then, help spread the word.

Starbucks can settle a fair contract. Until they do, our message is simple: No Contract. No Coffee.

In solidarity,
