BREAKING: An Administrative Law Judge has ruled that Starbucks illegally fired, threatened, disciplined, and subpoenaed our union siblings at the Barn store in Denver in retaliation for organizing last year.

Reminder that JD Vance and Howard Schultz are old buddies — Vance took Schultz to Appalachia, where Schultz’s realizations about the opioid epidemic led him to decide to… open more Starbucks stores. Schultz wrote about this in his 2019 book — in chapter 10, “Share Your Blanket.”

A giant step forward made possible by thousands and thousands of us joining together and speaking out… 🚨THIS IS HUGE.🚨
Workers United and Starbucks share a commitment to developing a productive relationship in the best interests of Starbucks partners. During mediation discussions last week over ongoing brand and IP litigation, a constructive path forward emerged on the broader issues of the future of organizing and collective bargaining at Starbucks. To build on that path, Workers United and Starbucks have agreed to begin discussions on a foundational framework to achieve collective bargaining agreements for represented stores and partners, the resolution of litigation between the union and the company, including brand litigation, and a fair process for workers to organize. As a sign of good faith, Starbucks has agreed to provide workers represented by Workers United with credit card tipping and benefits announced by the company in May of 2022. While there is plenty of work ahead, coming together to develop this framework is a significant step forward and a clear demonstration of a shared commitment.

Today is the BIGGEST filing in Starbucks Workers United HISTORY! Join us in welcoming TWENTY-ONE (!) new stores to the movement, as they all announce their unionizing efforts together! 🔥🔥🔥✊
A graphic with an outline of the United States - with 21 stars pin-pointed on different cities - is grouped with text that says "BREAKING NEWS: TWETNY-ONE! Today. 21 Starbucks stores are announcing their intent to unionize - the MOST EVER filed in one day." The graphic looks as if its covered in plastic wrap.

Partners- ARE YOU SICK OF STARBUCKS NOT GIVING YOU ENOUGH HOURS? We are, too. Despite being one of the richest companies in the world, Starbucks is cutting our hours AND making us work short-staffed on their growing list of promo days. 😡

Workers have a ton of issues using Starbucks's health insurance - from high monthly costs, to exorbitant fees on necessary medications and procedures, we just can't afford the care we need. Our contract proposals include solutions that make healthcare accessible to ALL workers:
STARBUCKS WORKERS NEED BETTER HEALTH INSURANCE We ALL deserve high-quality care without coming out of our paychecks. Our proposal includes: - Affordable 100% employer-paid care - Available for full and part-time workers - Comprehensive medical, prescription, dental, vision, and life insurance - Improved access to mental health services - Addition of domestic partner coverage - Full reinstatement of trans healthcare coverage available prior to changes in October 2022 We need health insurance that meets the needs of EVERY worker.
