Starbucks Workers United Strike Rally!

Rally with union SBWU baristas on Red Cup Day!

Starbucks Workers United baristas across the country are strong and united. We're fired up and ready to do whatever it takes to secure a fair union contract and resolve unfair labor practices – including striking if necessary.

Join baristas in San Diego on Starbucks busiest sales day of the year, to make sure the company knows customers and community members stand with union baristas in their fight for a fair contract and an end to the company’s years-long union busting campaign. 

Starbucks can afford a fair contract. It would cost less than one day of sales. Let’s remind them that workers have receipts!

Gov't Shutdown Rally at Issa's
Oct
29

Gov't Shutdown Rally at Issa's

The government shutdown is hurting real people:

• 1.4 million federal workers are working without pay or locked out of their jobs.

• 42 million people, including children and seniors, are at risk of losing food benefits (SNAP).

• Millions will lost their healthcare or have to pay up to double or higher to keep their healthcare if Trump and Republicans don't extend healthcare subsidies.

This isn't a political game—it's a crisis for workers and working families. Trump and Congressional Republicans can end this now, but they're refusing to extend healthcare subsidies that the working class needs.

Join us to tell Rep. Darrell Issa that San Diego demands OPENING THE GOVERNMENT AND HEALTHCARE. Our workers and our most vulnerable neighbors should not be used as bargaining chips.

GOV'T SHUTDOWN RALLY AT ISSA’S

🗓️ WHEN: Wednesday, Oct 29, 2:30 PM

📍 WHERE: Rep. Issa's Office, 221 W. Crest St #110, Escondido

RSVP here!

Our communities need relief, not rhetoric. See you there. #EndTheShutdown

 Stand Up for Public Service Workers! (Teamsters 2010)
Oct
22

Stand Up for Public Service Workers! (Teamsters 2010)

Meet at Library Walk and Gilman Drive at UCSD; we'll march to rally in front of Geisel Library.

Shuttles will pick people up from La Jolla and Hillcrest starting at 11:30 AM

Public service workers are the backbone of our communities, providing the essential services that keep campuses, hospitals, and cities running every day. Yet UCSD has refused to work with us to prevent layoffs—pushing out dedicated employees and hurting our community. And the Federal Administration is attacking public workers, our jobs and our freedoms—slashing funding, filing frivolous lawsuits against public universities, and trying to take away our freedom to picket, rally and strike.

We’re rallying for the dignity of Public Service workers, to demand UCSD stop the layoffs and reinstate the workers who’ve already been let go, and for fair contracts for UCSD workers!

Invite your friends, family and whoever!

Lunch will be provided!

Join Starbucks Workers United for a Practice Strike Picket!
Oct

Join Starbucks Workers United for a Practice Strike Picket!

We’re taking action to show Starbucks what’s at stake if they continue stonewalling us at the bargaining table. While CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” plan flops with declining sales, understaffing, and frustrated customers, Starbucks workers are rising. Over 650 stores have unionized, and our movement is only growing stronger.

We’re fed up with corporate delays and unresolved unfair labor practices. Starbucks just blew $81 million on a Vegas party for managers, but claims it can’t settle a fair contract. Enough.

This practice picket is a warning: we’re organized, we’re united, and we’re ready to strike if that's what it takes to win the contract we deserve with better pay, more hours, and respect on the job.
