John,
If you’re like me, you’ve been wracking your brain on how to continue supporting Starbucks baristas as they continue their unfair labor practice strike at stores across the country.
Well, I’ve found a way —> Click here to host a leafleting event at your local, non-union Starbucks!
Thousands of workers in hundreds of stores have gone on strike to protest unfair labor practices and demand a fair contract—with more and more to come as we get closer to Christmas. Those workers are sick and tired of Starbucks violating labor law, shelling out millions to their CEO, and refusing to hold to their own promise of reaching fair contracts by the end of this year.
I took the pledge: No contract? NO COFFEE. So I’ve been making my coffee at home or ordering from a local coffee shop if I’m out and about. When baristas went on strike in mid-November, they asked the same from you. While baristas are on strike—don’t buy Starbucks.
But I want to do more. This coming Monday, December 15th, is our chance. On the Don’t Buy Starbucks National Day of Action, allies, community members, fellow workers, and striking baristas will be out in front of non-union stores asking neighbors not to buy Starbucks.
Show your solidarity: Host a leafleting event at a non-union store near you. You can bring one or two friends along; that’s all you’ll need!
If you’ve been out in the world wondering why people are still buying Starbucks, this may be the opportunity to help educate your community. To share with them why workers are on strike, to show your solidarity, and fight to grow this movement so Starbucks has to end its union-busting and workers can win the wage increases they need.
Starbucks has the money to invest in baristas. And we have the power to help support this strike and amplify the call to not buy Starbucks while workers are on strike.
Are you in? Host a leaflet event this coming Monday >>
