Starbucks' CEO Brian Niccol earned $100,000,000 in his first 4 months on the job. That's a rate of $590 per minute. It took 33 minutes for him to earn $20,000. 👇👇👇 #UnionsForAll

This week, we took direct action to show Starbucks the urgency of finalizing contracts with the wages, staffing, and protections we need to thrive. We’re doing what it takes to win. And we won't stop until we do.

Daisy's book literally saved me when I was in the pits of union bargaining. not only does she give you her own organizing story but she teaches us about a rich history of women organizers. A necessary read for everyone!!!

I have some new followers, so here I am with the paperback version of my book. Read it! Especially if you like stories about working people fighting and winning, or if you like to think about union democracy, labor history, and the transformative nature of resistance.

I cannot recommend this book any more highly. I really enjoyed it and it's so topical & perfect for the moment we are in. I included it on the list of books to read in Let This Radicalize You workbook resources (p. 102). Also read this excellent piece by Daisy here: thebaffler.com/latest/the-g...

If you are new to direct action, you will be called "uncivil" at the very least. It's par for the course. Embrace it.

This is your regular reminder that if unions didn't work, giant corporations wouldn’t spend millions and millions of dollars trying to stop workers from making them. Unions give workers power, and billionaire CEOs don't like that.

We’re going to hit 550 union stores tomorrow. Dozens more are quietly organizing. And these workers have BIG plans for the next couple of months. Follow @sbworkersunited.org for a daily drip of inspiration!

Starbucks labels their coffee product sources as "100% Ethical." Today, a new report documents abusive labor & negative environmental practices within the supply chain Starbucks sources from in Mexico. This isn't the first time the alarm has went off.🧵 elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

Last month, allies & Starbucks workers participated in civil disobedience for the first time. Now, we're inviting baristas to join us for a series of trainings that explore the legacy of this powerful tactic that's helped workers & social movements win! More information soon. 🔥

Pressure to write messages on every cup during an understaffed rush - its more likely than you think😵‍💫 Our union is fighting for fair wages, scheduling, & more. If Starbucks can pay CEO Brian Niccol $800k a DAY, they can invest better in US, the workers. bit.ly/m/SBWU

I love this union. Imagine what we can do by commandeering 550 cafes across 45 states and the District of Columbia (that’s the current size/spread of SBWU) for community defense planning, trainings, and events. All hosted by union baristas.

Law360 obtained the White House letter purporting to fire National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox & general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. It claims the agency "is not presently fulfilling its responsibility to the American people." It also gets both of their titles wrong.
