I’ve stopped going to Starbucks since the union busting began. None of my locations are unionized.
I will return once they are.
I’m sorry but are we eating the onion with this website?
To demonstrate its good faith to understandably skeptical workers, the company also agreed to let them receive credit card tipping
Have the baristas not been getting credit card tips?!?!
Just looked it up. Starbucks I guess recently added the tipping option to stores but didn’t enable that at union stores.
Holy fuck. So Evil.
Good. Every hourly job should be unionized
“why just BLACK lives?”
Nobody said other positions SHOULDN’T be, just that EVERY hourly position SHOULD be. And I agree. Salaries positions should also be, but hourly employees are usually on the lowest rungs of the ladder.
But management and c-suites don’t need unions. They already have the power hourly just doesn’t have.
You’re overlooking the hundreds of thousands of everyday salaried workers being laid off in the last couple years by drawing a line that doesn’t exist between them and vague “hourly” workers you describe here - I have a good friend in an hourly position that makes $60/ hr with good benefits, and one that makes around $40/hr with crap benefits from his salaried position, both were laid off for no reason last year in one of these rounds of indiscriminate, unjustified firings solely to juice stock dividends.
No reason to not full court press on this issue FROM ALL WORKERS- labor needs to be unionized, PERIOD - McDonalds or Microsoft, all of it. Nobody is even talking about the relatively non-existent number of people in the c suite here? HUGE ocean between them and the salaried workers at their companies.
Good job with the solidarity there, bud. The best way to rouse support is to be confrontational toward anyone who is trying to join in, lmao. Why should this guy care about your movement if you don’t care about his?
I don’t care what the second part of your message says, because I don’t care to read past the dumb capital words you put in for drama.
Edit: I’m just the messenger, lmao! You guys are neutering your own social movement with your lame attitudes. I’m just telling you about it.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to identify nearby unionized stores? I’d like to only go to my unionized Starbucks or unionized Trader Joe’s, if there’s any of those close to me.
Google-fu powers, activate!

Jesus christ, first time visiting that horrible site I’m greeted with a purple, full page, text box to submit my email address to “never miss a new video”… what the fuck? Who in their right mind sits down and says “yes, this is just what we need”
Holy shitsnacks! You are unfortunately correct. I was not bludgeoned by the purple sledgehammer the first visit.
Here, try this alternative, now with less retina syphilis (they still ask for email tho) :
