Starbucks Unions Involve Customers in Fight for a Just Contract

Several people in high-viz green stocking caps gather around a sheet of paper, pickets in the background have signs saying ‘no contract, no coffee’

“Unionized Starbucks workers are electing strike captains and getting customers to pledge they won’t cross picket lines. They’re amassing in front of stores with picket signs, borrowing a slogan that UPS Teamsters used during their 2023 contract campaign: “Just Practicing for a Just Contract.”

“Thirty-eight stores held practice pickets in early October, and starting October 25, 80 more stores plan to hold pickets and sign up customers to a  No Contract no coffee  pledge” promising not to patronize any Starbucks in case of a strike.
