Starbucks is one of the most profitable companies on the planet. As partners, we’re building a movement to have a real voice in determining and sharing that success.




As partners at Starbucks stores across the country, we have long experienced understaffing, overwork, and a lack of say in our workplace. Meanwhile, Starbucks has raked in record, billion-dollar profits.
We started discussing the possibility of creating a better Starbucks: one embodying the values that inspired us to work here to begin with.

Stand with the tens of thousands of customers and supporters demanding Starbucks come to the bargaining table like they’ve promised.




Emeryville, CA
Newly Unionized Store
We’re not just baristas – we’re students, parents, forward-thinkers, and coffee fans united by the simple idea that we think Starbucks can be so much better when workers have a say in company and store operations.
We’re organizing because we know we can improve this company, transform our industry, and form a collaborative, creative, forward-thinking, justice-seeking, independent organization that allows us to advocate for ourselves.

🔥 Workers want real job protections and improvements - and our union isn’t slowing down. Today, Starbucks partners at stores across the country are announcing their intent to unionize! Baristas at over 500 stores are already organized, and we’re bargaining for better pay, better scheduling, and stronger protections in our union contracts - none of which can be taken away unilaterally for any reason after ratification.
We’re living in a moment where many things may feel uncertain... but with a union, we have a solid path to upgrade our working conditions and protect ourselves!
Workers in these cities are going public with their union efforts today:
🔥 New York City, NY
🔥 San Jose, CA
🔥 Buffalo, NY
🔥 Baton Rouge, LA
🔥 Salt Lake City, UT
🔥 Springfield, MO
🔥 Bellevue, WA
🔥 Roswell, GA
🔥 Oceanside, CA
🔥 and even more to be announced soon
There’s never been a better time to organize a union and add real, material democracy to your workplace. Tap the link in our bio to get started, as well as see the full list of stores that are organizing (with a letter written by workers to CEO Brian Niccol!)

Now is the most important time to be organized. Our union was built to fight for people of color, queer workers, our trans siblings, and all marginalized people in our workplaces and our communities. The work continues, and the rank-and-file leaders of our union will never stop fighting for a better future. WORKER POWER is our way to achieve that. And there’s so much power in mutual aid and organizing with our communities. Through our union, we are going to fight together and protect each other - and we WILL win.
