SA DSA Stands in Solidarity with Starbucks Workers

San Antonio DSA expresses solidarity and support for the Starbucks baristas who are joining together and standing up for their rights as workers to form a union. Starbucks claims to be a progressive company, so they should live up to their professed values and stop making threats and intimidating their own employees. We know Starbucks workers will win their union, and with it the power to demand basic dignities such as reasonable scheduling, proper training, and a fair share of the record profits they’ve brought in. 

The energy and demand behind the union drive came from the workers, but we’ve offered what we would to anyone—an organizer skills training, connection to our DSA city council representatives, and the solidarity of showing up. We urge everyone to support the unionizing workers by using the name “Union Strong” or “Union Yes” with their order, making sure to tip baristas, and by joining our national Solidarity is Brewing! campaign kickoff on March 27th at 5pm: https://actionnetwork.org/events/solidarity-is-brewing-launch-call/

First Starbucks, then the River Walk! All service workers deserve a union.  dsausa.org/join
