Red Cup Day is Starbucks’ biggest sales day of the year. Starbucks baristas at unionized stores will be striking to protest unfair labor practices and Starbucks Workers United (SBWU) will be asking allies to target not yet-unionized stores to raise awareness among customers about workers and Starbucks’ relentless anti-union campaign which includes intimidation, firings, store closures, and a complete refusal to bargain with unionized stores.
Responding to their call, the DSA-LA Starbucks Worker Solidarity Circle Group is organizing a solidarity action at Lincoln & Marine Starbucks on November 16 at 9 am to stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers and demand that Starbucks quits union busting and respect workers’ right to organize. We’ll meet outside of Starbucks with signs, flyers, and petitions to engage customers and passersby in support of Starbucks workers.
