This Labor Day, we took our fight directly to the pages of the New York Times with a powerful message that Starbucks can’t ignore: it’s time to settle a fair union contract. 

Our full-page ad, “Starbucks is Brewing a Latte Problems,” cuts straight to the heart of the issue—while CEO Brian Niccol pockets record compensation and tops the charts for CEO-to-worker pay gaps, over 12,000 union baristas are demanding the company stops stonewalling and come back to the table with serious proposals. 

The math is simple: for less than what Starbucks paid Niccol last year, Starbucks could end this labor dispute and give union baristas better hours, higher take-home pay, and a resolution to the unfair labor practices we’ve been fighting for. We’re fired up, we’re united, and we’re not backing down. It’s time for Starbucks to stop playing games and finalize a fair union contract.
