The election season may be over, but the organizing season never ends. Huge congrats to the baristas in Marblehead, MA, for announcing they’re forming a union together! 
They’re joining over 12,000 union baristas pushing back on understaffing, benefit rollbacks, and low pay from a company that can afford to do better and keeps choosing not to. Grab a (non-Starbucks) mug… a lot is brewing this week.

Candidates who backed baristas came out on top
Big week for working people at the polls! So many of the candidates who backed our growing boycott WON their national races. Congrats on the decisive victories, proof that putting working people first is the way forward. Now we keep that energy going by organizing unions and boycotting Starbucks.

Every skipped cup adds pressure, and we’re about to add more. 
We’re not waiting ‘till Red Cup Day to take action. 
Stay tuned.
