    I’m sorry but are we eating the onion with this website?

    To demonstrate its good faith to understandably skeptical workers, the company also agreed to let them receive credit card tipping

    Have the baristas not been getting credit card tips?!?!

    Just looked it up. Starbucks I guess recently added the tipping option to stores but didn’t enable that at union stores.

    Holy fuck. So Evil.

        “why just BLACK lives?”

        Nobody said other positions SHOULDN’T be, just that EVERY hourly position SHOULD be. And I agree. Salaries positions should also be, but hourly employees are usually on the lowest rungs of the ladder.

        But management and c-suites don’t need unions. They already have the power hourly just doesn’t have.

          You’re overlooking the hundreds of thousands of everyday salaried workers being laid off in the last couple years by drawing a line that doesn’t exist between them and vague “hourly” workers you describe here - I have a good friend in an hourly position that makes $60/ hr with good benefits, and one that makes around $40/hr with crap benefits from his salaried position, both were laid off for no reason last year in one of these rounds of indiscriminate, unjustified firings solely to juice stock dividends.

          No reason to not full court press on this issue FROM ALL WORKERS- labor needs to be unionized, PERIOD - McDonalds or Microsoft, all of it. Nobody is even talking about the relatively non-existent number of people in the c suite here? HUGE ocean between them and the salaried workers at their companies.

          Good job with the solidarity there, bud. The best way to rouse support is to be confrontational toward anyone who is trying to join in, lmao. Why should this guy care about your movement if you don’t care about his?

          I don’t care what the second part of your message says, because I don’t care to read past the dumb capital words you put in for drama.

          Edit: I’m just the messenger, lmao! You guys are neutering your own social movement with your lame attitudes. I’m just telling you about it.

    I’ve stopped going to Starbucks since the union busting began. None of my locations are unionized.

    I will return once they are.

      I’m not sure I would go back even if they are unionized. It’s shitty coffee made by a chain that is very eager to ignore labor laws that are inconvenient. I’ll stick with my local coffee shops that actually give a shit

      I stopped going to them because their coffee is gross. Additionally the line in the morning clogs the street i take to get to work.

    Does anyone know if there’s a way to identify nearby unionized stores? I’d like to only go to my unionized Starbucks or unionized Trader Joe’s, if there’s any of those close to me.

      Agreed. But it’s likely because Howard Shultz finally handed over the reins. He is such an anti-union ideologue that he was willing to risk the health of his own company rather than make a deal
