Baristas frequently work shifts without enough labor to keep up with customers, & without consistent hours + scheduling, we often cannot afford rent or groceries. We're calling on ALL Starbucks partners to sign our petition demanding Starbucks listen! bit.ly/EndHourCuts
Text says "HOUR CUTS HURT. It's time to demand guaranteed hours & proper staffing for Starbucks baristas! bit.ly/EndHourCuts" Images of a clock, a dollar bill being cut, a Starbucks staffing schedule with low hours, drive-thru times, a long drink order, and an eye tearing up decorate the middle of the image.

All donations will be given to workers to supplement lost wages or directly into our effort to get them to reopen and give us our jobs back. We appreciate anything people can give to help our cause

the owners of Wydown would rather put 30 people out of work and close 2 storefronts than even entertain the idea of a unionized workforce. Absolutely pathetic. Don’t let them get away with this.

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.

Customers: JUST. SAY. NO! 🚫🙅‍♀️ to Starbucks gift cards this holiday season! Unionized baristas are asking for you to support them by NOT buying Starbucks gift cards this year. Why? 🧵
A largely red image that says “JUST SAY NO” with the O looking like a holiday wreath, with the words “gift cards” crossed out inside it. In the corner is the Starbucks Workers United logo.

⚠️OUTBREAK IN CANTALOUPES: Illnesses in this outbreak are severe, with more than half of sick people hospitalized. If you don’t know which brand of whole cantaloupes were used in pre-cut fruit products, the safest choice is to not eat it. More recall info: bit.ly/3R3jswt
Cantaloupe chunks, with text saying, “Food safety alert. Salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupes. Malichita and Rudy brand whole cantaloupes and many pre-cut cantaloupe products have been recalled. Don’t eat pre-cut cantaloupes if you don’t know whether recalled cantaloupes were used. See CDC outbreak notice for more details. cdc.gov/foodsafety/outbreaks”

Congratulations to the Starbucks workers who are standing up against corporate greed & launching the largest strike in Starbucks history today. It's long past time for Starbucks to end its illegal union busting & negotiate a fair first contract with the workers. #RedCupRebellion

It's @SBWorkersUnited's Red Cup Rebellion! I'm here at a unionized store in Washington D.C. standing with workers as they demand an end to Starbucks' unfair labor practices. Today baristas across the country are demanding better and making one thing clear: No contract, no coffee!
