Starbucks Right now in Seattle: x.com/SBWorkersUnite…

BREAKING: Police have been called on current and former Starbucks workers in Pittsburgh. This store went on strike, with workers demanding the company finalize fair contracts. Shame on Starbucks for letting it get to this point. $SBUX #ToBeAPartner

Update! Former and current Starbucks partners were arrested for occupying the store for a fair contract!!!! All partners are now released and ready to continue the fight for a fair contract.

If you're the Starbucks CEO you get $96 million for 4 months of work including a $5 million bonus. If you're a Starbucks union worker, the CEO is refusing to give you a decent raise to pay rent & buy groceries. Starbucks must end its greed & negotiate a fair union contract.

Starbucks baristas + allies are occupying the store on University Ave to show $SBUX the urgency of finalizing contracts with the wages, staffing, and protections workers need. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Starbucks . We will do what it takes to get you to listen to us! #ToBeAPartner

Starbucks workers all over the country are participating in a strong showing of solidarity today. Civil disobedience, strikes, solidarity actions, and more are happening at $SBUX locations all over the country. Hear us yet, Starbucks? ITS TIME TO FINALIZE CONTRACTS NOW.

A big EXCELLENT WORK to all of our community allies who showed up big today for our action! We're continually grateful for all the support while we fight for a contract that will give us the breathing room to help others the way Matt and others helped us today!

🏳️‍⚧️Happy Trans Day of Visibility from SBWU. 2025 has been a terrifying year for trans people, which is why we need contracts that protects trans healthcare + protections now more than ever. If Starbucks cares about their LGBTQ+ workers, they'll finalize strong contracts NOW.

Over the weekend one of our union members and 22 others were wrongfully arrested for peacefully protesting an anti trans hate group in Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. Our union strongly condemns the police brutality and arrests. Please donate and share the legal defense fund.
