Waffle House workers are dealing with violence, harassment, and unsafe conditions every day and still barely scraping by. We deserve protection. We deserve respect. We deserve $25 an hour! Aniyah, Waffle House worker in ATL #WaffleHouseWorkers #OrganizeTheSouth #UnionsForAll #WorkerPower

Black, brown, immigrant, citizen — the divisions they want don’t stand a chance when we stand side by side. What happens in Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, New Orleans, or New York is our fight too. When any one of our neighbors is threatened, we show up. We protect each other. We fight as one. Because solidarity is our power. #WeKeepUsSafe #OrganizeTheSouth

Don't let the robber barons get you down, babes 💚💚💚

A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest strike in Starbucks history. ~2,500 union baristas across 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike, with workers ready to escalate further.

For over six months, Starbucks has stonewalled union baristas by refusing to put forth new proposals to address their core demands:

1. Better hours to improve staffing in our stores. Understaffing is rampant, leading to longer wait times as customer orders stream in. Yet too many baristas still aren’t getting enough hours to pay the bills or meet the threshold for benefits. Starbucks needs to invest in increasing barista hours.
2. Higher take-home pay. Too many baristas struggle to get by, while executives make millions. Starbucks needs to put more money toward barista’s take-home pay.
3. Resolution for hundreds of outstanding unfair labor practice charges for union busting. The coffee giant has committed more labor law violations than any employer in modern history. Starbucks needs to fully resolve legal issues impacting baristas.

“It’s time for Brian Niccol and Starbucks executives to stop stalling and cut the excuses,” said Michelle Eisen, Starbucks Workers United spokesperson and 15-year veteran barista. “We need real solutions that address our basic demands and the hundreds of labor law violations that remain outstanding. The ball is in their court.”

�Friday’s ULP strike expansion builds on recent Red Cup Rebellion actions at key corporate sites. Last week, dozens of delivery trucks turned away from a picket line made up of hundreds of baristas and allies outside of Starbucks’ largest distribution center in the world in York, Penn. On Monday, hundreds of union baristas and allies brought their ULP strike to the satellite office Starbucks has outfitted for CEO Brian Niccol in Newport Beach, CA.��
