I’m proud of all the employees that are willing to fight for a fair share of profits.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Thousands of Starbucks workers at hundreds of stores will be on strike, as they protest the lack of their first contract despite a nearly two-years long organizing drive at the coffee chain.
But the union said the limited duration strike on a key promotion day for Starbucks is important in its efforts to win their first contract at the chain.
And it is a sign that even with more than 200,000 strikers leaving picket lines in the last month, that there are levels of union activism at America’s workplaces that haven’t been seen in decades.
The union, Starbucks Workers United, won its first representation vote at the company in December 2021, at a store in Buffalo, New York.
And the NLRB has so far rejected efforts to oust the union at some stores, citing the lack of progress on negotiating a new contract.
The union earlier this fall filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB over Starbucks’ refusal to bargain around promotion days.
