Support Starbucks Workers United: Boycott Starbucks Until Workers Win a Fair Contract

Working people are getting squeezed by corporate greed, and Starbucks is a poster child. CEO Brian Niccol makes 1,700 times more than the average barista who is struggling to survive. The same CEO who claims a $9 coffee is affordable commutes to work in a private jet. Meanwhile, Starbucks thinks they’re above the law, racking up more labor law violations than any company in modern U.S. history.

Starbucks is out of touch and overpriced while its workers are overworked. Working people across the country should never have to worry about paying their rent or going to the doctor.

Starbucks baristas have been fighting for nearly five whole years for a fair union contract that would cost Starbucks less than one day of sales. They shouldn’t have to fight for what they simply need to survive: a $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in stores, and basic workplace protections.

Starbucks fuels working people, but they’re failing the workers who fuel their profits. By signing the Boycott Starbucks Pledge, you're committing to take your coffee dollars elsewhere until Starbucks finalizes a fair union contract and stops unionbusting. Every person who joins the boycott sends a clear message that workers deserve respect, and Starbucks can't keep delaying the fair contract baristas have earned.
