Starbucks: Pay your workers fairly and stop union busting!
Starbucks workers are on strike after Starbucks walked away from the bargaining table over a year ago, refusing fair pay, additional staffing, and an end to their record-breaking labor law violations.
Workers are stretched thin, understaffed, and still can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits, all while Starbucks rakes in billions and hands their executives massive bonuses. Starbucks has the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the country.
Why is this important?
Starbucks claims a fair contract would hurt customers, but customers overwhelmingly say stores are short staffed and service has suffered. It’s clear that Starbucks is refusing accountability for its massive labor law violations and is willing to use customers and workers as scapegoats for their corporate greed.
Starbucks can easily afford to do right by its workers; a fair contract would cost them less than one day of sales. It’s time for Starbucks to return to the bargaining table and recognize the workers who make its success possible.
What’s happening right now with Starbucks, from mass labor law violations to a Trump-appointed judge stripping away damages owed to a Starbucks organizer, shows exactly how the corporate elite are protected by politicians while the rest of us are left to fight to meet our basic needs. Starbucks workers need your solidarity as they begin their nationwide strike.
Workers make Starbucks’ profits possible, period. Sign the petition now to demand Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol come to the bargaining table and stop union busting!
