This month, 1000s of union Starbucks workers are getting LOUD and showing the world how strong we are when we work together.

If you see us with signs in front of our stores, come ask us about what our union is getting ready for… 👀

when u put it that way... 😱😡

if you're a starbucks partner, tap the link in our bio! let's talk about how organizing a union can help you and your coworkers - we're here to help! ✊

as someone who has been involved in union organizing through my dad's union since i was literally in second grade, the way that people on tumblr think unions work drives me literally insane

[sadhoc]

unions do so much more than just strike. unions bargain. unions sit in at meetings with upper management. unions help people navigate benefits. unions coordinate aid drives for disabled members. my union ran a donations campaign for me for the interim between the end of my allotted paid leave and my disability claim

[sadhoc]

"unionize your workplace" means so much more than "talk to your coworkers about striking." you gotta actively know what a union is and what a union isn't before you can form one. calls to unionize should lead to more people learning their rights and learning how unions work, and coordinating with orgs like seiu and the teamsters and the aft (and if you don't know what those are, look them up).

My union found me a legal expert to help me check over my last redundancy settlement for free, provided private medical cover whilst I was unemployed, and negotiated a good deal on cheap insurance for their members. It is so much more than strikes.

"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????

did you know: starbucks has been told by administrative law judges that they’ve been breaking labor law HUNDREDS of times in just the last 18 months‼️ like, of course thousands of starbucks workers like quinn have been organizing - with a union, we can actually hold the company accountable and make sure everybody has good pay, good benefits, and better treatment, no matter who they work for.

STARBUCKS EXPOSED

Episode 1: The Truth Behind Starbucks Coffee

(CW: SA mention) Starbucks is being SUED for allegedly sourcing coffee beans and tea leaves from farms that have allegedly committed documented human rights and labor abuses - including the use of child labor, forced labor, and egregious sexual harassment and assault. Starbucks workers want to work for a company that lives up to its values and treats all workers as well as it says it does. It's time for accountability, Starbucks!

Trans Rights Are Labor Rights

[teaboot]

Not to be a drooling socialist cuck, but if a full day's labour can't purchase three square meals, 24 hour's worth of rent and utilities, a fraction of a month's clothing budget, and a reasonable portion to be saved for when you can no longer comfortably work, what the fuck are we doing shit for

🔥UNION POWER IN NEW ORLEANS💪 Starbucks workers at the St. Claud store in New Orleans demanded a union this week, hoping to join two other unionized stores in New Orleans! They’re among nearly 10,000 workers across the country who are fighting for better pay, better treatment, better scheduling, and more with a union contract.

Be sure to stop by their store and wish them luck as they head into their election - especially as management begins their union-busting campaign! LET’S GO ✊

One of the things I resent most about being Animal Brain Apex Predator trapped in Maximum Productivity Society is that I have to work when the weather is gross, instead of following my natural instinct to burrow myself into something dry and soft and sleep until Optimal Foraging Conditions

[teaboot]

It is dark and cold and wet and miserable and I have a warm dark quiet hideaway full of food and drinking water that is safe from interlopers and for some ungodly reason instead of holing up there to conserve my energy, I am standing up in a brightly lit beige room for several hours. A possum wouldn't put up with this shit. I'm going to bite someone
