We’re on day 4 of our 5 days of ULP strikes, and the SBWU strike lines keep spreading! Baristas are fired up and ready to fight for a fair contract and protest hundreds of unfair labor practices – and as each day passes, more and more workers are walking off the job.
Today, we’re out in 3 new cities: Boston, Portland, and Dallas! Here are the 13 cities we’re holding anchor pickets in:
LA: 10am PST @ 3241 N Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA
Seattle: 1pm PST @ 1124 Pike St, Seattle WA
Chicago: 12pm CST @ 5964 N Ridge Ave, Chicago, IL
Denver: 12pm MST @ 2700 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO
Columbus: 12pm EST @ 7176 N High St, Worthington, OH
Pittsburgh: 8am EST @ 5932 Penn Cir S. Pittsburgh, PA
St. Louis: 12pm CST @ 8023 Dale Ave, Richmond Heights MO
Philadelphia: 9am EST @ 1528 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA
Brooklyn: 9am EST @ 325 Lafayette, Brooklyn, NY
Long Island: 1pm EST @ 914 Old Country Rd, Garden City, NY
Dallas: 11am CST @ 1445 West University Drive, Denton TX
Portland: 10am PST @ 9350 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, Beaverton OR
Boston: 10am EST @ 470 Washington St, Brighton MA
If you’re able to join your local picket line, workers would love supplies like: hand-warmers, food, water, hot beverages, and energetic vibes! Don’t forget to bring your own picket sign!
Don’t live near a picket line? We still need you! Striking baristas are calling on allies to flyer as many not-yet union Starbucks as possible. Workers across the country are infuriated over the paltry 2% raise, and SBWU gives not-yet union baristas a path to increase their wages. But in order to win, we need not-yet union stores to get in the fight. We’re asking allies to flyer these stores and talk to baristas about the union.
Show us your solidarity: register your canvassing event, attend an anchor strike line near you, and DO NOT cross the picket line!
Onward,
Lilly
