Hi John,

Starbucks workers are leading one of the most visible national organizing campaigns in decades. With the holidays in full swing, now is the time to show your support. 

Thousands of Starbucks workers have voted, petitioned and picketed to demand Starbucks respect their right to form a union. These workers are demanding a voice in the workplace on issues of pay, scheduling, staffing and more. 

Workers in more than 360 stores have voted to form a union so far. 

Starbucks, which made $3.3 billion in profits last year, has responded with a brutal, anti-union campaign of threats, intimidation, firings and store closings.

That’s why Starbucks workers across the country will be going on strike on Red Cup Day, Nov. 16, Starbucks’ busiest sales day of the year.

Will you find an event near you and show your support for Starbucks workers on Thursday, Nov. 16?

There are already dozens of Red Cup Rebellion events planned across the country demanding that Starbucks respect its workers’ right to join a union. But if you don’t see an event near you, you also can host your own. 

There’s absolutely no excuse for putting billions of dollars in profits over employees who are simply trying to come together to exercise their basic rights. 

Thank you for standing with working people.

In Solidarity, 

Team AFL-CIO
