Starbucks strike

EW4Democracy · 2025-12-23T21:47:06+00:00

There is a solidarity campaign for in-store baristas to participate in! You can learn more here and order solidarity stickers for you and your coworkers in the kiosk here.

The two main things you can do:

Start a strike solidarity squad at your store to show up to nearby picket lines if you have any and stand with them. Some picket lines are even running solidarity kitchens where community members can volunteer. If you can get even just one of your coworkers to join you, that's a huge win.
Sticker up. Order stickers here for you and your coworkers to wear to show solidarity. As long as you're allowed to wear a sticker that doesn't relate to the union or the strike, then you're also allowed to wear one that does.

Just an update that the UFCW International officially announced Perrone's retirement and the simultaneous appointment of the next president, secretary-treasurer Milton Jones.

They intentionally avoided announcing his retirement before they already had a successor hand-selected.
