Starbucks is one of the most profitable companies on the planet. As partners, we’re building a movement to have a real voice in determining and sharing that success.
As partners at Starbucks stores across the country, we have long experienced understaffing, overwork, and a lack of say in our workplace. Meanwhile, Starbucks has raked in record, billion-dollar profits.
We started discussing the possibility of creating a better Starbucks: one embodying the values that inspired us to work here to begin with.
Stand with the tens of thousands of customers and supporters demanding Starbucks come to the bargaining table like they’ve promised.
Emeryville, CA
Newly Unionized Store
We’re not just baristas – we’re students, parents, forward-thinkers, and coffee fans united by the simple idea that we think Starbucks can be so much better when workers have a say in company and store operations.
We’re organizing because we know we can improve this company, transform our industry, and form a collaborative, creative, forward-thinking, justice-seeking, independent organization that allows us to advocate for ourselves.
Some Starbucks workers in LA are being forced to work in areas impacted by the recent wildfires - even in places where the air quality is unsafe. Some partners were told by management that their stores must open because “the community depends on us,” ignoring that some of these workers had to evacuate their homes themselves.
Profits should NEVER be prioritized over safety, and we call on Starbucks to not only give impacted workers the time off they need, but bargain in good faith with our union so that we can enact firmer safety protections for our workers.

the raises this year aren’t enough - if starbucks CEO brian niccol can be given a private jet and a $113million compensation package, we need decent staffing and more than ~30 cents an hour 😡✊🔥
(a throwback from the biggest ULP strike in starbucks history last month, where thousands of workers walked out to demand starbucks bargain a fair contract with our union!)

Even this republican Senator told Starbucks their wages aren’t good enough 🫢 This year, baristas got their lowest raise in years—just $.30 an hour—all while Starbucks started giving their new CEO a compensation package of $57,000 an HOUR. Unless Starbucks wants a fight, they need to actually invest in us - the workers in the stores - instead of an already wealthy CEO!

The more of us that fight together, the harder it is for them to carry on with business as usual. As Starbucks baristas, we deserve our fair share!
