Red Cup Rebellion
2023-11-16 | WA
Join Starbucks Workers on strike across the country on November 16th.
Starbucks has committed hundreds of violations of labor law since the beginning of the Starbucks Workers fight for a union and a fair contract. In spite of this Starbucks Workers have continued to organize.
As a part of fighting back against Starbuck’s violations of labor law Starbucks Workers will be going on strike across the country in an unfair labor practice strike on November 16th.
Starbucks Workers are also asking community allies and organizations visit non union stores to educate the public about our contract fight and the challenges workers face in the industry.
If you’re a union member, it’s likely that your org has already “adopted” some locations, otherwise everyone is encouraged to find an event near them on this map: https://starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/calendars/red-cup-rebellion
Make sure to wear any DSA or Union gear that you have to show Starbucks workers that Socialist and Labor Movement is behind their fight!
